Episode 97 - Dawn Porter

Lawyer-turned-documentarian Dawn Porter has a lot on her mind. From the cultural and professional impact of the #MeToo movement, to her late father's habit of handing her cameras starting at the age of three, to her most recent documentary subject--the Kennedy family--she lays it all out for Sam in this episode. A nonfiction storyteller whose work, Sam points out, "describes something that's bigger than movies," Dawn has made serious, in-depth films covering topics that include abortion access (Trapped), white supremacy (Spies of Mississippi), and the aforementioned so-called American royalty (Bobby Kennedy for President). Well-spoken and thoughtful, Dawn talks with Sam and offers a clear-eyed look at the past and potential future of not only herself but also her country. http://talkeasypod.com/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
