documentary

The magic recipe

I believe documentary films can serve as powerful agents of change. A compelling story, well-told with a strong visual component, can provide a positive and accurate representation of a social group. When such films are viewed repeatedly over time, they become pleasant, accessible, and memorable, qualities that align with effective diversity training. One-off diversity training sessions alone cannot address the complexities of a fragmented society or the challenges of diversity. While no single approach is perfect, documentaries can play a vital role in helping us confront and make peace with the unfamiliar and uncomfortable parts of ourselves.
