Although the field of talented documentarians is among the most diverse in the entertainment industry, opportunities to tell their stories continue to be a challenge for people from underrepresented communities. Is there a distinction between excursions of discovery into indigenous cultures and cultural appropriation? Who gets to tell those stories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists include filmmakers Lisa Cort\u00e9s (\u201cAll In: The Fight for Democracy\u201d), James LeBrecht (\u201cCrip Camp\u201d), Bao Nguyen (\u201cBe Water\u201d) and Dawn Porter (\u201cJohn Lewis: Good Trouble\u201d). Moderated by Academy governor and Oscar\u00ae winner Roger Ross Williams (\u201cThe Apollo\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on this Academy Dialogue and others in the series, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oscars.org\/news\/academy-launches-new-conversation-series-race-and-gender-equity-filmmaking-academy-dialogues-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHO:<\/strong><br \/>Lisa Cort\u00e9s (\u201cAll In: The Fight for Democracy\u201d)<br \/>James LeBrecht (\u201cCrip Camp\u201d)<br \/>Bao Nguyen (\u201cBe Water\u201d)<br \/>Dawn Porter (\u201cJohn Lewis: Good Trouble\u201d)<br \/>Roger Ross Williams (\u201cThe Apollo\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHEN\/WHERE:<\/strong><br \/>Available starting Thursday, September 17 at 9am PT on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academy Dialogues: \u201cDocumentaries Through Our Own Lens\u201dwith Lisa Cort\u00e9s, James LeBrecht, Bao Nguyen, Dawn Porterand Roger Ross Williams WHAT:Part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\u2019 Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, \u201cAcademy Dialogues: It Starts With Us\u201d is a new series of virtual panels, with conversations about race, ethnicity, gender, history, opportunity and the&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/blog\/2020\/09\/17\/new-academy-dialogues-conversation-focuses-on-documentary-storytelling\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New &#8216;Academy Dialogues&#8217; Conversation Focuses On Documentary Storytelling<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-10797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-workshops","tag-academy","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10797\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
