History is Made

History matters; it is one way in which we define our present and decide our futures. From World War II to race relations to civil war and radical countercultures, this year's docs and narratives defy expectation and break the mold of traditional historical storytelling. Hear from extraordinary filmmakers tackling the challenges of bringing the past to life for a new generation. Filmmakers Steven Okazaki (White Light/Black Rain), Marco Williams (Banished), Bill Guttentag (Nanking), Julie Gavras (Blame It on Fidel), and Newton Aduaka (Ezra) join moderator Ian Buruma for this discussion on the relationship between history and film. Recorded live Sunday, January 21 at the Filmmaker Lodge.
