HOW I SHOOT 011: Filmmaker/DP Cameron S. Mitchell

<p>Filmmaker Cameron S. Mitchell is currently touring film festivals with his Slamdance Award-Winning feature documentary, Disposable Humanity, which uncovers the hidden legacy of the Nazi program to use disabled people to train killing staff and design the concentration camp apparatus for the Holocaust.&#39;DISPOSABLE HUMANITY&#39; follows filmmaker Cameron Mitchell and his family, who have researched the Nazi Aktion T4 program since the 1990s. Through conversations with memorial directors, disabled individuals, and descendants of T4 victims, this powerful documentary uncovers the chilling truth: Aktion T4 was the training ground for the Nazis&#39; mass killing program, leading directly to the Holocaust. Despite its profound historical significance, this chapter has been erased from public memory—until now.Learn more about the film: https://www.disposablehumanity.com/HOW I SHOOT is a series of conversations between Alan McIntyre and filmmakers, cinematographers, and other film workers.For more HOW I SHOOT episodes and essays: https://wtfstop.substack.com/About the host: Alan McIntyre is a cinematographer, teacher, and filmmaker based in New York City.
