Among Neighbors just won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award from @Kennedy_HRC.
Launched in 1969, the RFK Journalism Awards honor work that explores human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action -- the most prestigious award the film has received to date.

Chris Rock’s joke was in bad taste but Will Smith’s reaction was way outta line. Smith took the low road & clearly has personal work to do. His speech later was very moving but his apology was to the Academy, not to Chris Rock. And not to the world who saw him normalize violence.

A bill directly inspired by my film @CrimeAfterCrime is now LAW. Thanks to @SenatorLorettaW, Debbie's lawyers & family. Now NJ joins California, NY, & Illinois in giving incarcerated survivors of abuse a path to freedom & justice. Four states down, 46 to go.

It’s really great that so many Republican lawmakers are denouncing what happened today. But they are conveniently ignoring the fact that they enabled Trump for the past four years, setting the stage for exactly what happened today.

My project @DiaryFilm has been awarded a @NEHgov grant. I’m humbled to receive their help in revealing this long-lost Holocaust diary to the world––and @nytimes included the project in its coverage of NEH grants. nytimes.com/2020/04/07/arts/…
