A Maverick Director on Documenting Nayib Bukele's Re-Election.
Director & Producer Jessica Solce joins me to discuss Forging A Country, her latest film documenting Nayib Bukele's 2024 re-election in El Salvador.
We cover why Western liberalism's playbook is insufficient for El Salvador's problems, her approach to documentaries with ideological implications, reflections on her opus, Death Athletic, film and propaganda, streaming platform politics, filming over long timelines, accessing high profile documentary subjects, and discovering a film's aesthetics.
