Join the team behind Backlash: The Murder of George Floyd for an in-depth panel discussion for freelancers exploring the making of their feature documentary.
Five years since the murder of George Floyd – the police killing that sparked a wave of protests and demands for equality around the world - this new feature documentary tells the story of his murder, the massive global reaction and the backlash that followed. The session will explore how the filmmakers used compelling archive, user-generated content and powerful personal testimony to create a film that seeks to understand the events of summer 2020 and questions whether enough has been achieved since
