85: part 1: nothing to see here: watts

from let's go there · host carla  piñeyro  sublett

in this extraordinary round-table, carla sits with the filmmakers behind a watts project that began with 20 iphones and no plan and grew into a community-authored film, a kids' choir, a cross-project basketball team, and a 90% reduction in homicides across the areas represented. you'll hear from cornelius and tyrone (ogs turned youth coaches), lawanda (justice for murdered children), tim (former lapd gang officer), and stix (artist/producer) as they unpack how sworn enemies built trust "in increments," wrote new cultural standards (not a truce), and chose one non-negotiable: keep the kids safe. you'll hear from michael soenen, the creator and lead producer, we talk risk, empathy, and sustainability from edit rooms that felt like aspen seminars to a soundtrack funding a filmmaker-run foundation. this is not a movie about watts; it's watts remaking itself by itself.nothing to see here: watts: https://nothingtoseeheremovie.comlet’s go there Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠let’s go there YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠
