Case Study: Songs From The Hole | Beyond Resilience

Join Firelight Media on Thursday, September 25, from 4-5 p.m. ET on YouTube Live for a virtual Beyond Resilience conversation that dives into a case study of the Firelight Media-supported documentary visual album 'Songs From The Hole,' plotting the film team’s journey from idea to impact. Joined by the film team and moderated by Firelight Media President & CEO Loira Limbal, the conversation will uplift how activists can use documentary films as vessels to transform communities, designing a curriculum with a focus on systemic change, and unpacking the intimate (and ethical) relationship between filmmaker and protagonist. Accessibility Notice: This event will include auto-generated closed captions. Savvy young activists, like the team behind the Netflix documentary Songs From The Hole, are leveraging the cultural reach of documentary film to scale years-long efforts toward systemic change. Filmmaker Contessa Gayles, producer richie reseda, and protagonist and writer JJ’88 have long advocated for prison abolition and restorative justice, but their collaboration on Songs has reaped tangible results: Incarcerated folks across California who watch the film and engage in its curriculum are eligible for a one-week reduction in their sentence. And across the country, the team has tied screenings of the film to a “healing plan” that challenges notions of domination and power, safety, and community. The film team’s multi-year journey, documented in a recent case study from Firelight Media, has created a new blueprint for how activists might fuse movement work with artistic work to create systemic change.
