The Stories Your City Forgot
Cinema and Struggles with Professor Dale Graden
por Justin Mattson
In this episode, we delve into the multifaceted power of Latin American film as both art and activism, from Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement to the archival voices of Black and Indigenous resistance throughout the hemisphere. Graden shares how protest shaped his early worldview, how teaching became his tool for connection, and how memory lives on through storytelling, both on screen and off. This is a conversation about film, freedom, and the stories that shape who we become, one reel, one student, one archive at a time.
The number of different groups with history within the United States and around the world is staggering. Oftentimes, the history of many organizations and groups goes lost to the records of time. To help bring the history of one of those niche groups to the records table, Dr. Rebecca Scofield brings us the details of one such organization in this Story Your City Forgot.
