Oscar-winning filmmaker Julia Reichert reflects on the social, economic and personal forces that led to her career as a pioneering documentarian.
"Filmmaker Julia Reichert (Oscar winner for American Factory alongside her longtime collaborator and husband, Steven Bognar) was one of the most important documentary filmmakers in American cinema from the 1970s to the present day, with a vision focused on giving voice to those who didn’t have one. Julia's Stepping Stones is her final documentary, released posthumously after her death in 2022. Co-directed by Bognar, the film stands out as the rare occasion where Reichert turns the lens on herself, her life, work, and perspective. It’s a great opportunity to learn about an important filmmaker, though often overlooked."
