Intersectionality in the Documentary Film Edit Room

IDA Getting Real 2020 Documentary Conference

Luna x Moya, Faisal Azam, Steven J. Golliday, Randy Redroad and Steph Ching discuss their editing process and how filmmakers could apply a better understanding of intersectionality and the importance of inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
