LOUDER: THE SOUNDTRACK OF CHANGE – Review by Lynn Venhaus

October 13, 2024October 13, 2024 Lynn Venhaus documentary, Kristi Jacobson, Louder: The Soundtrack of Change, Selena Gomez, Stacey Abrams, Women’s Liberation Movement

To be seen and heard, one must speak up and speak out. And that’s the motivational message behind Louder: The Soundtrack of Change, which encourages women to believe in their power to affect change and inspire other generations by looking back at pivotal music moments. The 61-minute documentary is a collaboration by singer-actress Selena Gomez and political activist Stacey Abrams that couldn’t be more relevant. It’s an artfully composed celebration of brave, bold women who did not stay quiet when society needed a kickstart.

NO ACCIDENT – Review by Liz Braun

October 6, 2023October 7, 2023 Liz Braun 2017, Charlottesville, Christopher Cantwell, civil lawsuit, HBO documentary, Karen Dunn, Kristi Jacobson, Matthew Heimback, No Accident, Richard Spencer, Roberta Kaplan, Unite the Right

No Accident is a shocking film. The HBO documentary from director Kristi Jacobson examines the legal aftermath of the 2017 white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where one woman died and dozens were injured. Domestic terrorism and right wing extremism are on the rise. No Accident should be shown in schools — children need to see what it means to stand up to hate.
