Listen "Closed prisons from 2 POVs"
Episode Synopsis
This is the 2nd year for the Inthrive Film Festival, which features the voices and talents of incarceration survivors. It’s coming to Richmond October 3-6 at various locations. We’ll meet the makers of 2 entries about the closing of prisons that take very different approaches. Ashley Hunt’s “And Water Brings Tomorrow” merges poetry and documentary, while Juicebox P. Burton’s short “Space to Breathe” is a futuristic look at life without prisons. Our discussion includes:
– Their backgrounds
– How water inspired the title
– A hybrid between doc and narrative
– Taking a futuristic approach to abolition
– Afro futurism design in the SFX and costumes
