Here we are. Mid November. In California, the rain is coming. In New York, the cold. For so many, these times are painful and hard. And so we write to wish you sweet time, however you might catch it or make it or find yourself suddenly, gracefully in a patch of it.

 

Things happen in their own sweet time. We are making great progress on our feature documentary Acts of Reparation...

COMING INTO BEING

When we started making Acts of Reparation, we knew three things: We had to do it together, we had to do it differently, and we had to envision from the start the change we hoped the film might lead to in the world...

Last week in Monroe, Louisiana, we finished principal photography for Acts of Reparation. We thank everyone who, over the last four years, has helped us get to this moment.

So here’s the report from Monroe...

As documentary filmmakers, every now and then we get to see the world as it should be–the world put right or healed just a little bit. It’s why we love what we do and why we work so hard to bring what we see to you...

SO MUCH IS HAPPENING!

We couldn’t let another day go by without sharing news of our documentary-in-progress ACTS OF REPARATION.

Our filming this past Spring in Boston, Massachusetts and Monroe, Louisiana was full of miracles. On the week the Derek Chauvin case came down...

Like the sunflowers growing at the Sogorea Te Land Trust, like the figs on the trees of Selina’s great aunt Bobbie, our documentary film and impact campaign are preparing to bloom, beginning to ripen.

Lots has happened over the past few weeks...

WHEN YOU PLANT SEEDS,
THEY GROW – 10/18/2022

Not all of them. Not all the time. But that is how nature works and we are part of nature.

Last week, we were in Louisiana. We were there for two reasons.

The first was to attend a gathering organized by Jubilee Justice at Inglewood Farms, a former plantation in Alexandria...

As Black History Month comes to an end, we want to honor the story keepers, the truth tellers, and the history salvagers we have been filming while making Acts of Reparation...

That is what we’ve got, friends, for all of you who are helping us bring Acts of Reparation to the world.

In October, our crew was in Louisiana and Georgia for 15 days. We filmed in cemeteries, cotton fields, forests on the backs of ATVs, and from the air.,,

A PREVIEW

One thing that has gotten us through this excruciating year is watching people across the country working to heal historic injury and its lasting legacies and harms. 

We are excited to bring 11 minutes of Acts of Reparation to you as a way of saying thank you for your nurture, labor and support.,,
