I wrote a book on how justice-driven documentaries teach us to listen—and how those listening habits can perpetuate injustice or bring about transformative change. Coming soon from Columbia UP, read more about it here: https://t.co/Lgll6Rym18

The deep crimson image, fading to pink toward the bottom right, is produced by the filmmaker holding their finger over the lens to obscure the camera's view.

The book's subtitle (Listening and the Limits of Accountability) and the author's name (Pooja Rangan) appear in smaller pink letters. The background image on the book cover is a frame from Jordan Lord's Shared Resources (2021).

@sm_osment Oh no! I’m so sorry you had a scare Sarah. And it always costs so much to find out if it’s nothing or something serious.

I recently got to attend a film festival at Sing Sing prison. Here are some thoughts on the visit—on how prisons use progressive programming to justify their existence and the difficulties of pursuing liberation through art within their punishing constraints.

I got to know @p8ja first as an inspiration and then as a friend—and she continues to inspire me all the time. Here’s her beautiful report for @FilmComment on the first-ever documentary festival held inside a U.S. prison.
