She: The Doc that Gives A Voice To Silenced Women with Vanessa Cicarelli & Jason Greer
Hosts Tessa Markle and Carolina Alvarez of Femme Regard Productions spill the tea with this week's guests: Vanessa Cicarelli & Jason Greer!
We chat with the filmmakers about their feature doc debut, She. Based on the book of poems Doe by Aimee Baker, She is part interview with Aimee and part peek into her focus: women who went missing and their stories. Focused instead on the women, this true crime narrative takes the focus away from the killers and instead concentrates on the many unidentified and missing women throughout history who's stories were never told.
