Julia Reichert was an Oscar-winning filmmaker, a feminist, a fighter and a much-admired activist. We are truly sad to hear about the passing of the “godmother of American independent documentaries.” 🖤 #juliareichert

What an amazing array of films at the @AFIDOCS festival and what a pleasure it was to moderate a conversation with @gbarker and the people featured in his new film "White Coat Rebels."

[Mike McGranaghan @AisleSeat]

THE LOST LEONARDO is like a great detective story, looking at how a painting that may or may not have been an original da Vinci went from obscurity to fetching $450 million at auction. I was utterly riveted.
