We're here at Sundance 2021 (virtually) joined by our honorary Bitch and Sundance partner-in-crime John Wildman of FilmsGoneWild.com.

In this Episode, we're joined by the cast and crew from the documentaries Bring Your Own Brigade, Rebel Hearts, and A Concerto is a Conversation.

Emmy-winning director Lucy Walker shares her journey digging into the complicated history of California wildfires in Bring Your Own Brigade (spoiler alert: we can't blame everything on global warming).

In Rebel Hearts, which chronicles a trailblazing group of nuns that fought back against the patriarchal stronghold of the Catholic Church, we commiserate with director Pedro Kos about growing up in a religious household with a healthy fear of nuns.

Kris Bowers co-directs and stars in A Concerto is a Conversation, a short doc that interweaves his career as a composer to the stories of his 91-year-old grandfather.

The topics of the films in this episode further illustrate the importance of documentaries - to inform, to make us question, and to unite. Enjoy!
