Director Rob Bliss joins The Jan Price Show All About Movies to discuss his powerful documentary "White Man Walking," now available on digital platforms.

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing, filmmaker Rob Bliss walks across multiple states in Trump-era America wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt. Along the journey toward Washington, D.C., he encounters armed supporters, hostility, and moments of deep tension, but also surprising acts of kindness and solidarity from strangers who choose to walk beside him.

Through raw conversations and intimate encounters, "White Man Walking" becomes both a personal reckoning and a revealing portrait of America’s racial and ideological divisions. The Guardian called the film “a compelling tale of how the U.S. is riven by disenfranchisement and division.”

Writer-director Finn Taylor joins The Jan Price Show All About Movies to discuss his powerful new drama "The Optimist," based on a true story and now playing in theaters.

The film follows Holocaust survivor Herbert Heller, who escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau death march at age 15 and carried his story in silence for decades. When he finally begins sharing his past, he forms an unexpected friendship with Abby, a troubled teenager struggling with her own pain. Their connection becomes a moving journey of healing, understanding, and resilience across generations.

Starring Stephen Lang (Avatar), Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade), and Luke David Blumm (Where the Crawdads Sing), "The Optimist" is a deeply human story about survival, truth, and the transformative power of being seen.
