About this episode
On this special episode of More Like This, two documentaries focused on marginalized communities approach activism through their own distinct ideals for justice. Beginning with "Crip Camp," filmmakers Jim Lebrecht and Nicole Newnham speak alongside fellow activist Judy Heumann about the ways in which disability rights, civil rights and a summer camp culminated in the film’s historical point. Next, Sophia Nahli Allison, director of "A Love Song for Latasha," details the ways she decolonized her process and combatted anti-Blackness to portray her subject’s full life prior to death in ways that history has not. Social justice begins with courage.
