| Abstract | "The evolution of Kartemquin Films--Peabody, Emmy and Sundance-awarded and Oscar-nominated makers of such hits as Hoop Dreams and Minding the Gap--is also the story of U.S. independent documentary film over the last seventy years, and of storytelling for a stronger democracy. Kartemquin filmmakers, emulating the ideals of pragmatic philosopher John Dewey, made their studio into a central Chicago-area media institution; they became national activists for more vibrant and truly public media; they boldly confronted the realities of gender, race and class as they carved out ways to make socially-engaged films in an entertainment business and innovated engagement and impact strategies. This inside look at Kartemquin's growth from the days of 16mm to the streaming era draws from interviews, scholarship and personal experience"-- Provided by publisher. |
