Listen "Part 9: Akerman vs. America"
Episode Synopsis
Riding guest-free for a change, Kate and Simon tackle three films (a short and two features) that touch on issues of racism, injustice, and murder: the Amnesty International-prompted Pour Febe Elisabeth Velasquez, El Salvador, 1999's Sud and 2002's De L'Autre Coté. We also dive a little more than usual into criticisms of Akerman's documentary work/style and consider how the intervening decades have treated Akerman's portraits of American racism and violence.
