Ava DuVernay is a Black director who has made both documentaries and feature films. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano survey her career, with much of the discussion centered around DuVernay's best-known film, "Selma" (2014), which concerns one of the most important chapters in the civil rights movement. Through her films and also through her membership in the governing board of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Ava DuVernay has been a champion for making the American film industry more inclusive in terms of subject matter and employment. Incidentally, "Selma" will be discussed again by Marie and Mike on Oct. 14 as part of this fall's "Women Behind the Camera" film series at HCC.
