Sometimes you toss something out and the universe responds right away. After my “Peer review?” post yesterday I found this in my mail this morning. See the session on Law and Docs below. Couldn’t be more on topic.

Topics to be addressed include the extent to which nongovernmental, non-philanthropic financing has affected the nature and "journalistic objectivity" of content and the need to assess documentaries' real-world impact; documentarians' evolving obligations to their subjects, their audience, and the authorities; and the migration of documentary media techniques and culture into lawyers' production of visual legal advocacy.

As the Syrian uprising gains momentum, the blog attracts a huge following. But it's Amina's subsequent abduction that sparks an international outcry to free her. Telling a detective story that involves various intelligence agencies and global media empires, the film travels from San Francisco and Washington to Istanbul, Tel Aviv and Beirut to meet the key players in this quest to reveal the real Amina. This thoroughly modern tale of technology, love and news-as-spectacle questions the ways in which people connect in today's virtual world. The Amina Profile is part love story, part international thriller, and a gripping chronicle of an unprecedented media and sociological hoax. Moderator: Miranda Banks, Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College. Her work at the Emerson Engagement Lab focuses on civic engagement and the creation and facilitation of games for civic change.

Friday, April 24th @ 7PM + Post-Screening Q&A The new film by Barbara Kopple, a two-time Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature, tells the story of The Nation. The oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, founded in 1865 and now in its 150th year, The Nation covers politics and culture from a liberal point of view. The film captures daily life working on the periodical, introduces staff writers and editors past and present, and follows inductees in the much-sought-after internship program. At the heart of the film are the reporters covering stories in the field, and the in-depth coverage and long-term perspectives that the Nation provides. Moderator: Claire Andrade-Watkins, Associate Professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College, a 2015 Visiting Scholar at the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice and a Fellow, Swearer Center for Public Service at Brown University.
