Vaya Con Muñoz 4.24.21

In Vaya Con Muñoz

This week, as we approach the Oscars, our regular panelists – Tanisha Arena, Dan Torres, Matt Szafranski, and Nathaniel Waring – are joined once again by Larry Hott, renowned documentary filmmaker and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to discuss the Documentaries that have been nominated for this year’s Oscars. We discuss My Octopus Teacher, a film about a South African filmaker’s time with an octopus, and the effect it had on his life and wellbeing; A concerto is a conversation, a film about a black composer, and his relationship with his father; Crip Camp, a film about a summer camp run by hippies for special needs folks, and how it led them to have the confidence to challenge how people with disabilities are treated in the United States, and to fight for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act; and a slew of other films that didn’t make the cut, but were important and fantastic in their own rights. The panel then discusses the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, and what it means for the soul of our nation; how his defence chose to trample of George Floyd’s memory; whether the three other officers involved will be found guilty of a crime in their own trials, and what their defence might be; and how all this fits into the bigger picture of policing in America, and how it plays into the Defund the Police movement, and rethinking what policing looks like.
