Our Listen Courageously journey has taken us to many different communities, groups and organizations across the world. Most recently, we had the honor of screening “List(e)n” and hosting the Listen Courageously workshop for the University of Miami’s Human Rights Clinic. It was a compelling experience to be able to engage the students in our work of courageous listening. Max Zoberman was tasked with writing a response paper on his takeaways after watching “List(e)n”. Below is a compilation of his best quotes, from his thought-provoking piece “Documentary Filmmaking and Human Rights”.
