Dr. Amy Bertram will present a project that investigates Ava DuVernay’s online tools for teaching about film and television as vehicles for education and tools to create empathy around social justice issues. This session begins with DuVernay’s call to action in conjunction with considerations of her film and TV work, then focuses on how to apply her lessons locally, highlighting a collaboration between Curb College students and the Belcourt’s Strong Leads program for high school students.
