An Evening with Peter Almond

March 27, 2020 By henry

Peter Almond is a documentary and narrative filmmaker, whose career includes work on public issues as a journalist and in public policy with both US and international projects. Current work include a drama set in the lead up to Civil War when Frederick Douglass abandons hope of a moral/political solution to ending slavery, and concludes that war is the only way to resolve the crisis and end the nation’s embrace of inequality. These themes figure through Almond’s background in community organizing and policy around community control, initiatives framed by power to communities suffering injustice. Ukraine, Hungary, and US struggle for democracy shape efforts to bring voices from these communities to full participation in public debate.
