Q&A WITH FILMMAKER ASSIA BOUNDAOUI
Assia Boundaoui shares about the filmmaking process behind her groundbreaking documentary "The Feeling of Being Watched" and offers storytelling advice to new filmmakers. In her own words: "We weave the journalistic investigation with the personal journey and use the cinematic lens as a metaphor for the various ways my community—and by extension, Muslim-American communities across the country—have been seen." Watch our webinar from February 18, 2021.
