Bill Moyers' 10 Docs on Social Justice Champions
Tuesday, May 1, 2012(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Noting that “Social activism has always been a popular subject for documentarians because it presents stories of both cause and characters,” veteran journalist Bill Moyers has posted a list of “Ten Documentaries on Champions of Social Justice” on his website, along with trailers for each film, several of which have been screened at the DC Labor FilmFest, now planning the 12th edition in mid-October. Moyers says that the ten films “are not a complete list of films about social activists, but certainly proof enough that social change is possible, even under the most challenging conditions.”
