In The Seats With....Brad Bailey and 'Her Fight, His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner'
Those stories we wish we didn't have to be told, are usually the ones that need to be listened to... On this special episode we dive into 'Her Fight, His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner' which is doing the rounds and Academy Awards eligible. With the 10th anniversary of Eric Garner’s death and no end in sight for this epidemic of police violence it’s more important than ever to share Gwen’s story. Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, has spent years seeking justice over the death of her son. At home, surrounded by photos of lost loved ones, she draws strength from cherished memories to keep fighting. Filmed over six years, this documentary marks the 10-year anniversary of Eric’s death. The film really does look at the idea of understanding the strength that can come out of tragedy and feels more relevant today then it ever has before. We had the pleasure of sitting down with director Brad Bailey to talk about getting the project in motion, the importance of being an 'oral historian' inside the documentary framework in a story like this and so very much more.
