A Decent Home with Sara Terry
<p>“Home is the center of everything. It is the issue where everyone can come to the table.” - Sara Terry </p> <p><br></p> <p>In this episode we explore the compass that developers, bankers and real estate executives use when making decisions on land use and rights when it comes to others' housing security. Mobile home parks are the lowest rung on the pole of the American Dream, but for many that's all that is feasible. But now that many mobile home parks' land is getting sold to large development companies, that dream is quickly falling apart and there's no way for those mobile home owners to stop it. How can one choose personal wealth and greed while actively destroying others' lives? Dawn and Sara discuss this in addition to comparing photojournalism to documentary filmmaking, and recounting the progress of Sara's career spanning the last several decades. </p> <p><br></p> <p>A DECENT HOME is a feature length documentary film by Sara Terry that addresses urgent issues of class and economic inequity through the lives of mobile home park residents who can’t afford housing anywhere else. The film asks, Who are we becoming as Americans? — as private equity firms and wealthy investors buy up parks, making sky-high returns on their investments while squeezing every last penny out of the mobile home owners who lack rights and protections under local and state laws, and must pay rent for the land they live on. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow the film: </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adecenthomefilm.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3MdXSAjPxBPaCiHUWNdQOr9TaGqiibXwC5SwGFZ_j0_1pVcOCrxNI7r5U&h=AT1kEdf6A4sR1pp0U_6Rw9XfRfl--xwOQv-aYpnocP0NRHko-Kvszt9PNfj1xyVOCxEi6_X0tPS6PU0dqI_Vx-dVtzyk-8FtnBm1AUOsBhE_GpoufuEh6EbJs-pJN4S_F6REdMHcFrJCRQU3DoY47bgE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.adecenthomefilm.com</a></p> <p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adecenthomefilm/" target="_blank">@adecenthomefilm</a> </p> <p>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adecenthomefilm" target="_blank">@adecenthomefilm </a></p> <p>The film premieres on PBS’s America Reframed on World Channel on March 16th.

Naked Gardens with Ivete Lucas & Patrick Bresnan
<p>A visually stunning narrative documentary, NAKED GARDENS immerses audiences in the complex, unseen world of a family nudist resort in the Florida Everglades. Filmed over one season at this lush tropical campsite, the film follows the stories of individuals drawn to an unusual community, which promises both non-conformist values and, more importantly for some, a cheap place to live. As aging owner Morley and his residents prepare for the largest gathering of nudists in the US, the Mid-Winter Naturist Festival, they are faced with challenges both as a community and as individuals.</p> <p>Filmmakers Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan (Pahokee) are known for their verité stories that reimagine ways of seeing America, and its people. Embedding themselves within communities typically outside of the media eye, they capture the relational foundations upon which individual lives are built, alongside the historical and economic currents that shape the most intimate aspects of American existence. In NAKED GARDENS, the filmmaking duo creates a portrait of the rebellious retirees, LGBTQ loners, exiles from conservative America and families with young children, all of whom have decided to make this nudist resort their home.</p> <p>In this episode Dawn talks with Ivete and Patrick about the underground filmmaking scene, American vs European film festivals, opening themselves up in new and vulnerable ways, and the importance of support systems on set for the filmmaking teams and protagonists.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Follow the film: </strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.nakedgardensfilm.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p> <p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivetepatrick/" target="_blank">@ivetepatrick</a></p>
