Today for the first time ever, award-winning filmmaker Matthew Solomon talks publicly about his new documentary on the Free Palestine movement. Some of our favorite public figures are in it, including human rights lawyer Noura Erakat and journalist Abby Martin.
You will also learn:
- lessons from his award-winning documentary “Reimagining Safety,” a film about the systemic cruelty of policing in the United States and the path to abolishing it
- how Matty went from being raised a Zionist Jew to fighting for Palestinian liberation
- how he became an abolitionist who has met with members of the Black Panther Party, and some of his most important takeaways from that
Throughout the episode we review actions we can all be taking to fight the rise of policing, militarism, and fascism.
