- Design
Oscar nominated documentary filmmaker and producer Amy Ziering has spent much of her career fighting injustice. Her film work includes the films Outrage, about the hypocrisy of closeted gay politicians; The Invisible War, about the epidemic of rape in the military; and The Hunting Ground examining the prevalence of sexual assault on university campuses.
While Amy may not think of her own work as courageous, many would disagree, saying that she focuses on bringing to light important stories and giving a voice to survivors of abuse. In her conversation with ArtCenter President Lorne Buchman, Amy explores her career, the impact of making a film about philosopher Jacques Derrida, and the source of her strength and why she wants to be an agent of change.
