Confronting Stigma and Shame Through Trust and Storytelling - Interview with Alex Liu and Leo Neri - EP 27

 What is it like to make a documentary about a stigmatized subject? How do you trust in yourself when a project stretches on for years? 

Hosts Lisa Lambert and Rick Kitagawa explore the answers to these questions and more in this conversation with Alex Liu and Leo Neri, co-founders of Herra Productions, and the director/co-writer and co-writer/producer for the documentary feature A Sexplanation.

In our conversation, we discuss the power of listening and teamwork, the nature of shame, how they stayed focused over six years, storytelling and humor, and how to have conversations with people you don't agree with.
