What is the power of documentary film to drive social change? This week’s NARA podcast guests, documentarians Karolina Domagalska (Abortion Dream Team) and Miki Redelinghuys (Mother City), answer this question by turning their cameras on activist movements in Warsaw and Cape Town.
Karolina Domagalska’s film Abortion Dream Team follows activists in Poland assisting women facing unwanted pregnancies.
Miki Redelinghuys’s film Mother City (co-directed with Pearlie Joubert) depicts the social housing movement 'Reclaim the City', led by the activist Nkosikhona Swortbooi, who also speaks in the episode.
These conversations, hosted by NARA's journalist Nojus Setkauskas, were recorded this March at the human rights film festival Movies that Matter in the Hague, the Netherlands.
Sound engineered by Kata Bitowt, edited by Karolis Vyšniauskas and Austėja Pūraitė
