A CONVERSATION WITH THE FILMMAKERS AND SUBJECTS OF WOMEN IN BLUE AND STOCKTON ON MY MIND AFI DOCS Forum

Even before COVID-19, U.S. cities were facing intractable issues around policing, homelessness, education and economic inequality. Now, with these issues taking on paramount importance, filmmakers and subjects from two films screening at AFI DOCS 2020 – WOMEN IN BLUE and STOCKTON ON MY MIND – join together in a thought-provoking conversation about current events; the opportunities for, as well as the limitations of, reform; and the potential for major structural changes that could transform institutions and people’s lives in the two cities featured in the films – Minneapolis, MN, and Stockton, CA – and throughout the country.
