Interviewer
A short documentary that explores a blue-collar community’s growing unease with the Vietnam War.

American Revolution 2
Producer
American Revolution 2 begins with footage of the political demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention and the forceful reaction of the Chicago Police Department and the National Guard. Investigating the lack of an African American presence at the protests, the filmmakers follow members of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party as they search for common ground with a variety of white activist groups. In one scene, Panther Bobby Lee and members of the Young Patriots, a community of white Appalachian activists living in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, organize to protest police brutality. The seemingly disparate groups find shared social and political objectives that overcome racial differences – police violence, poverty, lack of employment, and poor living conditions. This potential for a cross-racial and interethnic political movement is the movie’s beautiful but unrealized dream.
A Matter of Opportunity
Director
A MATTER OF OPPORTUNITY is an outreach film that was sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the National Medical Association (NMA) in response to the burgeoning civil rights movement in the U.S. and the limited opportunities afforded to African-Americans in the field of medicine. MATTER OF OPPORTUNITY signals a seismic shift in thinking and action within the institutions of education and medicine in the 1960s.
