YAAWS spend time with Nancy Mullane. She came by and gave a presentation on her book, “Life After Murder”.
We had the incredible honor to have Nancy Mullane in the house as our guest speaker.
For those of you who don’t know her work. Nancy Mullane is an award winning reporter, producer and journalist. More recently she published her first book called, Life After Murder, which shares a story of 5 men seeking redemption after years on Death Row. Nancy shared her experience of reporting from the inside of prisons and gave us advise on the importance of using media for story telling. We strongly encourage you to check out her website to learn more about the incredible work she does.
After her talk with the full YAAW cohort, she sat down with a few of us to give us tips for ethical interviews. Nancy, will be joining us again this coming Thursday. This time she will be accompanied by some of the men who were the subject of her book. We are very much looking forward to having her back! We are inspired and now more than ever, ready to dig deep into creating our own projects around challenging the Prison Industrial Complex!
Working as an independent radio reporter and producer gets me up every morning with a feeling in the pit of my stomach I’m already late for something, somewhere. There are just too many stories to tell and not enough time in a lifetime to tell them.
In April 2009, I was awarded a Soros Justice Fellowship to produce a radio documentary telling the stories of Lifers awaiting parole in California. The project will take listeners behind the walls and inside a world where people struggle to reform their lives amid diminishing hope that they will ever be granted parole. The radio series will air nationally in the Spring/Summer of 2012.
On some days, when I feel the need to and can afford to take a break from radio production, I grab my Canon AT-1, the last simply designed, do-it-yourself camera, and see what visual gold I can feast my mind’s eye on.
It’s all about finding the sometimes beautiful and sometimes disappointing truth in words and images.
