In this session, following a screening of Men of Courage, director Byron Hurt will share his journey as an independent filmmaker who has made several documentary films for the PBS system. He will also offer ideas on how the independent filmmaking community should move forward during a time when storytellers who seek to tell the truth are under attack.

About the film: Men of Courage takes the viewer on a journey inside the Garden State of New Jersey for a fly-on-the-wall experience as five black and Latino men engage in compelling conversations with other boys and men about the role they play in ending violence against women.

Keynote Speaker: Byron Hurt is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. His films: Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes, Soul Food Junkies, and Hazing broadcast nationally on PBS’ Emmy award-winning series, Independent Lens. His documentary Lee and Liza’s Family Tree aired on PBS NOVA. Hurt’s latest short film is Men of Courage.
