Sell Your Movie Honestly with Lance Kramer "The First Step"
#vanjones #prisonreform #socialjustice
Lance Kramer's The First Step documentary about CNN's Van Jones and his mission to create a Bi-Partisan Bill for Prison Reform in America. It was a journey to get made as Lance knew the challenge of making a documentary that challenges the ideals of both sides of the political spectrum. Lance talks to me during the Tallgrass Film Festival about his algorithm-breaking film.
In this revealing observational portrait, Black progressive activist and political commentator Van Jones faces a polarized society head on in an effort to reform a broken criminal justice system. Jones, known for calling Donald Trump's election “a whitelash” live on primetime TV, navigates increasingly tense and isolating political and racial divides in his attempt to become a “bridge builder” during the Trump administration. Condemned by the right for his progressive beliefs, and by the left for embracing conservatives, this fraught and cinematically captured personal journey questions his integrity from all sides, forcing him to consider not only his activism but his own identity.
The First Step takes us behind the scenes of these dramatic power struggles, from internal divisions within both parties, to the lives of activists fighting on the frontlines for their communities.
