Q&A with some of the Wild Women live on Wednesday, September 30.
Sponsored by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios.
Ten powerful women in conservation science and media from South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, Mozambique, Rwanda, Zambia and Kenya were selected for the NEWF Wild Women Media Lab. From 10th - 22nd August 2020, the cohort engaged in intensive online filmmaking workshops with industry experts and mentors from around the world to guide them through the process of producing a micro-film – a first time experience for all. Each participant was provided with a media making legacy package, allowing them to each develop, film and edit their stories in just a few days. The NEWF Wild Women Media Lab has been designed in partnership with Jackson Wild and is supported by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, American Film Showcase, the United States Mission South Africa and National Geographic Society.
Hurt by "Science" synopsis:
In response to the well acclaimed Professor Nicoli Nattrass’ (from the University of Cape Town) most recent publication: a controversial, offensive and poorly-scientific paper that made stereotypic conclusions about Black South African students at the institution; four black students: an Alumni, PhD candidate, Masters student and an Honours graduate give their personal review of the findings, interpretations and scientific plausibility of the article.
