Top Docs:  Award-Winning Documentary Filmmakers

Anatomy of a Scene from Sugarcane with Emily Kassie & Julian Brave NoiseCat


Listen Later

Today’s pod features one of our special “Anatomy of a Scene” episodes.  Emily Kassie and Julian Brave NoiseCat join us once again to discuss their feature documentary, “Sugarcane”.   Emily & Julian were first on the show when we recorded them live from Sundance.  We wanted to have them back on to dig in deep on a scene from the movie that spans continents, involves world leaders, and features some of the most stark revelations of the film.  

 

One note on the audio:  Some of my spoken explanations for what we are seeing on the screen didn’t come out so well.  But that’s really besides the point.  The real heart of this pod are the incredible explications from Julian & Emily, founded in how they got some of these shots, the creative decisions they took to achieve their ends, and, notably, their engagements with the most telling moral issues of their film, rooted in the inadequacies of explanations for past crimes from everyone from a leader of a religious order, to a Canadian Prime Minister, to a Pope.


Sugarcane has just started streaming on Disney+
