Radio Interview with Colter Nuanez
BIG SKY DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL
Colter Nuanez, from our local radio partner, @Trail103.3, sat down with the film’s director, Atin Mehra, and two producers, Mae Thornton Mehra and Harold Foxx. Mr. Foxx is deaf; interpreting for him is Mary Morrison.
Here’s the film description:
Michelle is a deaf autistic woman who survived incarceration under unimaginable circumstances in a system that refused to accommodate her needs. Outside of prison, Michelle is doing the difficult work of telling the story of her traumatic childhood and her adverse experiences in the criminal justice system.
Please take a listen. It’s a wonderful conversation on an extremely tough subject to address; the conditions and treatment endured by Michelle is matched in power only by the manner in which she works to undo the damage. The fact that this is ultimately a redemptive story is a testament to the sheer wonder of human capacity.
And we hope to see you Saturday night at the Wilma!
