Including Deepti Gupta, Mart Bira, Asad Faruqi, Barry Avrich, Siji Awoyinka, Erika Cohn, Diana Nielle and Richard Poplak,  Joel Bakan, Maia Lekow, Mia Donavan, Mina Keshavarz, Sharron Ward and Tamara Dawit.

    Docs & More: Joel Bakan

    This week I’m joined by one of the co-directors of the incredible documentary, The New Corporation – the Unfortunately Necessary Sequel.  Described by Forbes magazine as the ‘must see documentary of the year’,  the film charts how our democracies are in danger, thanks to the rise of corporations. Connecting stories from around the world the film examines economic inequality, racial injustice, climate change and much more. One half of this impressive directing duo is the award-winning director Jennifer Abbott, and the other is a professor of law at the University of British Columbia, a writer and also film maker, Joel Bakan.   Don't forget to subscribe to the show!  Music by Mixolydian Studios Sydney (Michiya Nagai and Benjamin Samuels).  If you enjoyed this podcast you can support us with a coffee https://ko-fi.com/docsmore.

    Docs & More: Erika Cohn

    This week my guest is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning director and producer, Erika Cohn. Her latest documentary film, The Belly of the Beast, uncovers a pattern of illegal sterilisations taking place in a woman’s prison in the USA. It exposes the thinking of the doctors who carried out these procedures, who literally believe they can play God and decide on the future fate of women which will affect the rest of their lives and violates their human rights.  Don't forget to subscribe to the show!  Music by Mixolydian Studios Sydney (Michiya Nagai and Benjamin Samuels).  If you enjoyed this podcast you can support us with a coffee https://ko-fi.com/docsmore.

    Docs & More: Mia Donovan

    This week I’m joined by a film maker, Mia Donovan, from Montreal in Canada.  Her latest documentary film, Dope is Death, explores how the Black Panthers and the Young Lords became active in their communities helping people come of drugs  without any side effects – using acupuncture.  This was 1973. And this project was seen as a threat by the US government. Don't forget to subscribe to the show! Music by Mixolydian Studios Sydney (Michiya Nagai and Benjamin Samuels).

    Docs & More: Diana Neille and Richard Poplak

    Joining me this week on the Docs & More podcast, are two film makers, chronicling an extra-ordinary story. Diana Neille and Richard Poplak’s debut documentary, Influence,  charts the world of advertising and PR, Bell Pottinger and the late Sir Timothy Bell. He’s probably best known as Margaret Thatcher’s, the former British Prime Minister, favourite spin doctor who relied on him to bring in results. The film looks at the man and the firm and what they did and how it all fell apart.  Don't forget to subscribe to the show!  Music by Mixolydian Studios Sydney (Michiya Nagai and Benjamin Samuels).  If you enjoyed this podcast you can support us with a coffee https://ko-fi.com/docsmore.

    Docs & More: Hong Kong Documentary Filmmakers

    Joining me this week are a group known as the Hong Kong Documentary Filmmakers. You may recall that in 2019, Hong Kong erupted in protests against the new controversial extradition bill. Those spearheading the protests were a group of students from the Polytechnic University, who decided to make a stand for freedom and democracy.  Slowly, the University building is surrounded by police. Are the red brick walls still a university campus or a prison? I’m joined now by the makers of Inside The Red Brick Wall, the Hong Kong Documentary Filmmakers who are speaking to me via a translator. All wish to remain anonymous and the voice of the translator is disguised. Don't forget to subscribe to the show!
