Pre-recorded conversation between Shirah Dedman (Director) and Emmett Williams (Executive Director, Mission Man Media). Shirah Dedman is an afroecologist, specializing in environmental analysis of the African-American experience. Shirah was formerly an associate at the Equal Justice Initiative, where she took part in EJI's community education project, speaking about the lynching of her great-grandfather. She is also an alum of the University of Arkansas Law School Agricultural &amp; Food Law Program. Emmett Williams started Mission Man Media after a decade in television -- a company that has produced dozens of inspiring and educational documentaries, web series, podcasts, and short films around the world that live at the intersection of social justice and intimate storytelling. Williams has told the story of grieving mothers who have lost their sons to police brutality in Brazil, produced a television show about climate change in Africa, documented threatened fishing communities in Alaska, told the story of illegal logging in the Amazon, created a Black Lives Matter web series, been part of large scale art performances in Europe and filmed protests from Standing Rock to Rio to Washington, DC.
