Thank you #JustFilms / @FordFoundation for your transformative support of my new film exploring the legacy (and future) of Barbados and the fight for reparations, and to @chihuiyang and @JonSesrie for your continued leadership in the field. We have powerful wind in our sails.
Breaking: We've announced our funding for independent film projects this year. Our #JustFilms initiative, one of the largest documentary funds in the world, provided over $4 million to support 68 films and #documentary projects in the US and Global South.

Not reposting it, but that new article from the newspaper of record about “Jihad Rehab” ain’t it, if only for how reductive and dismissive it is of the many criticisms of the film. Sounds like it was written by a PR firm. Or a government agency.

Throwing back to my wild ass cinema experiences at the Globe Cinema in Barbados: bandanas, whistles, hollering at the screen. Ecstatic immersion.

Very happy to write this one. Very happy to talk to Jay as a free man after 2 years of prison phone calls. Just very, very happy. https://t.co/JFwABQDfwf

Once more, we're in a desperate financial situation! We've never received funding; our editor & programmer has never been paid; our two-person team & writers are paid less than we’d like. We have tens & thousands of readers & viewers / month but our model is unsustainable 1/

A must read and a conversation that has to lead to a reckoning.
on the challenges of creating culture as a Muslim filmmaker: “At worst, we are condemned as monsters; at best, we are objects of pity in stories that attempt to “humanize” us. We so rarely get to tell our stories from our own lens.” https://t.co/78TXjG3qtO
