Hello, Everyone! Welcome back to Brym - it’s Season 2, Episode 10! We will be producing 2-3 more stories in Season 2 before regrouping over the Summer to think about the next evolution of our Storytelling Platform. Thank you for being here and a part of this exciting ride that’s just getting started!
Today’s Climate Story is a core inspiration for how we hope Brym’s storytelling can make a jump to the next level… diving into the power of short film and documentaries with Cathleen Dean. We dive deep into her new short film, ‘Wade in the Water’ and how it intersects with the amazing work of Dr. Miriam Lynch and Diversity in Aquatics.
After the trailer, Cathleen has also been kind enough to share a ‘Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Documentary Film’!! So if you have a story you want to tell - feel free to learn from her guide and connect directly!
Diving Deep: The Power of Documentary Storytelling & Water Activism
Author: Cathleen Dean, April 26, 2023
Documentary films have the power to move, inspire, and educate audiences in ways that traditional Hollywood blockbusters cannot. They are a form of storytelling that allows filmmakers to shed light on important issues, and to share perspectives that are often overlooked or ignored. 'Wade in the Water' is one such documentary that has captured the hearts and minds of audiences around the world. Directed by Cathleen Dean, the film explores Black Florida’s fight for the right to swim. The film brings to life the 1960s Civil Rights protests that desegregated the state’s beaches and swimming pools and sheds light on the historical, cultural and spiritual connection BIPOC communities’ have with the water.
