Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara Kopple

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver inspired millions with her celebrations of nature, attention, and the examined life — yet she remained one of American literature's most intensely private figures. Filmmaker Sasha Waters spent years building an intimate portrait of Oliver from the inside out: sifting through thirty to forty boxes of correspondence, notebooks, and personal photographs before they entered the Library of Congress, and tracking down a long-lost video recording that captures Oliver speaking publicly for the first time about surviving childhood abuse.Mike talks with Waters about the making of Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World (2026) — her path into documentary filmmaking through the school of Barbara Kopple, the subjects that have chosen her over the years, the creative problem-solving demanded by a subject who rarely allowed herself to be filmed, and what it felt like to introduce the film to a sold-out crowd of 1,100 at the Missouri Theatre during its world premiere at True/False. Waters also reflects on her parallel career as an experimental filmmaker and educator at VCU School of the Arts, and the pleasures of a good pie shake.Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World opens theatrically July 3, 2026, and airs on PBS American Masters on August 25, 2026.

Matewan (written and directed by John Sayles) dramatizes the events of the Battle of Matewan, a coal miners' strike in 1920 in a small town in the hills of West Virginia. In the film, Joe Kenehan (Chris Cooper, in his film debut), an ex-Wobbly organizer for the United Mine Workers (also known as the “Wobblies”), arrives in Matewan, to organize miners against the Stone Mountain Coal Company. Kenehan and his supporters must battle the company's use of scabs and outright violence, resist the complicity of law enforcement in the company's tactics, and overcome the racism and xenophobia that helps divide the labor movement. Sayles's film provides a window into the legal and social issues confronting the labor movement in the early twentieth century and into the Great Coalfield War of that period. I'm joined by Fred B. Jacob, Solicitor of the National Labor Relations Board and labor law professor at George Washington University Law School.

Today's episode is about "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing", a 2006 doc about the (formerly Dixie) Chicks and the fallout from Natalie Maines' famous 2003 comment, "We do not want this war, this violence. We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas". The film was directed by Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck. Our guest for this episode is the music writer and podcast producer Dylan Tupper Rupert. We follow the band as they deal with the immediate repercussions of the statement and get a view of the social and political climate in the U.S. during the early days of the Iraq War. The movie takes us back and forth between 2003 and the band's 2005-6 recording of their next album, Taking the Long Way, and subsequent tour. The movie presents the Chicks as a trio with an unbreakable bond facing the first real challenge to their spectacular career. While the focus is on "the comment" and what follows, the movie also gives us an opportunity to appreciate the Chicks' incredible catalog of hits and undeniable musicianship.

Following Paul's choice, The Grapes of Wrath (1940), Corey wanted to choose a film they both knew they'd get to eventually – Harlan County, USA (1976). The film is a documentary which focuses primarily on the Brookside miners' strike in 1973, against Duke Power Company-owned Eastover Coal Company's Brookside Mine and Prep Plant in Harlan County, Kentucky. The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary, and Corey himself declared it "one of the best documentaries ever made." There is a lot to discuss, from the career of director Barbara Kopple to the 1968 and 1972 UMWA elections to the ins-and-outs of a strike to the heroism of the strikers and their wives to Marx's Law of Value (a.k.a. Labor Theory of Value).

When it comes to children, mothers are considered their north star. No matter how old that child gets when times get hard or the waters get rough, that child will always look to their mother to guide them to a safe place. But what happens when your mother is no longer there? What makes matters even worse, what do you do when the person who took your mother … is your father, the one sworn to protect her? “Something has happened to her. She's either locked away in a shed somewhere or he's killed her.” (8:07), Collier My guest today is Collier Landry. Collier has an amazing story of resilience and perseverance that will inspire you no matter what stage of life you're in. At the tender age of 11, his father murdered his mother.

Today, Collier discusses how he made it through this turbulent time and how others can find a light at the end of any dark tunnel. “The grass is always greener on the other side, but that doesn't make it true.” – (49:59), Collier It makes no difference what you're going through, there's always hope if you just keep moving forward. Pull up a chair and listen to this amazing testimony of the human spirit, compassion, and forgiveness, that will help you persevere and find your better place! “I am grateful for what I went through because it's made me the person I am today.

Two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple helped invent the modern-day documentary with her groundbreaking Harlan County, USA, which recounted a brutal coalminers' strike in dirt-poor Harlan County, Kentucky and won the 1976 Oscar for best documentary. She won her second Oscar in 1991 for American Dream, about a heartland strike against the Hormel Foods corporation.She returns to the grassroots struggle for survival and dignity in her new film Gumbo Coalition, about the work of the Civil Rights groups the Urban League and UnidosUS during the Trump presidency. We just saw it at the 25th anniversary edition of the Sarasota Film Festival, where we recorded this episode.In addition to docs about social issues, Kopple has also made some fascinating films about celebrities at heightened moments, including the Woody Allen film Wild Man Blues and the Dixie Chicks portrait Shut Up and Sing. But what unites all of her films is a cinema vérité style in which she lets her subjects do the talking and observes with minimal interference. Hosted on Acast.

Résumé Encore une fois, c'est outre atlantique qu'une Histoire du Rythme va passer l'heure à pavaner à travers un style bien de chez eux : la musique country ! Mais ce style de musique va au-delà de son usage réconfortant, s'en est devenu un véritable dogme identitaire au fil des décennies. Que ce soit pour le meilleur comme pour le pire. Et si la country a une sale réputation sur le dos, c'est qu'elle représente surtout les fameux quakers et autres cow-boys blancs du midwest et des grandes plaines. Vous savez, ces beaux paysages de champs, de marais et de montagnes que l'on voit dans les films. Le bémol, c'est que derrière cet idéal se cache une population conservatrice, patriote et fier de ses idéaux. Mais réduire la musique country et ses adorateurs à une analyse si rapide ne lui rendrait pas hommage. C'est pour ça que dans Une Histoire du Rythme, on s'est permis de se poser une question : La musique country est-elle nécessairement de droite ? N'y a-t-il pas des auditeurs et auditrices moins conservateurs ou bien des groupes féministes ? Playlist Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider (1973) Alan Jackson - Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) (2002) Dolly Parton - Just because I am a Woman (1968) Dixie Chicks - Travelin' Soldier (2002) Woody Guthrie - Tear the Facists Down (1944) Steve Earle - Rich Man's War (2004) Pour aller plus loin Difficile de donner des sources satisfaisantes pour un sujet si subjectif. Mais quelques articles sérieux venant de journaux ou magazines en ligne peuvent être cités malgré tout. Article Cairn faisant un état des lieux actuel Article du Monde Diplomatique écrit par Sylvie Laurent, chercheuse associée à l'université Harvard et à l'université Stanford, enseignante à Sciences Po Interview de Jada Watson, chercheuse de l'Université d'Ottawa, spécialisée en musicologie Il existe aussi un documentaire sur la campagne d'intimidation qu'a imposé les conservateurs américains aux Dixies Chicks, groupe de country féminin, après leur annonce lors d'un concert à Londres en 2003.

He was 12, his mother was murdered by his father: He asked his future self for help. Today, Jessica McKinley is joined by Collier Landry, the host of the true-crime podcast, Moving Past Murder. They talk about what it means to have integrity and resilience while facing trauma. And how someone can navigate the boundaries between a personal story and business, and the angles that show how the impacts of crimes against life don't simply end with court verdicts. In this episode you will learn: Behind the murder in Mansfield The point of the show, Moving Past Murder How Collier found the courage to move past his trauma and start his business The boundaries between trauma and business Collier Landry – on growing up in front of an audience There is distance between who you are and your circumstances About Collier Landry: As the creator and subject of Investigation Discovery's A Murder in Mansfield, the documentary from two-time Oscar-winning director Barbara Kopple, a formally trained musician and photographer, he segued into filmmaking as a means to creatively express and deal with his own traumatic childhood story - the premeditated murder of his mother Noreen by his own father, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr. - and to give a narrative voice to others in similar circumstances.   At the age of 12, Collier witnessed the murder and chose to go to the police. After his father's arrest, he was abandoned by both sides of his family over the heinous crime and orphaned into the foster-care system. His mother's son at heart, this determined and stubborn child stood his ground and faced down his father as the prosecution's key witness during the month-long murder trial. In the film, Collier returns to Ohio to retrace his past and confront his father, who, almost 30 years later, still remains incarcerated and in denial of his guilt. The film explores not only the collateral damage of violence and its traumatic repercussions but the beauty of human strength and resilience through seemingly insurmountable odds.   Connect with Collier Landry on:  Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/collierlandry/?hl=en Listen to the Moving Past Murder Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-past-murder/id1551076031  Catch up with Coach Jess and Sincerely, Future You on: Website:          https://www.whatshappyning.com/ Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/whatshappyningwjess/ LinkedIn:         https://www.linkedin.com/in/manningjessica/ YouTube:        https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Jf0PICsOH1HZJP97jrpng Get business and life coaching by Coach Jess through: https://www.whatshappyning.com/workwithjess Book your FREE Mini Session now: https://www.coachaccountable.com/offering/Pmcu5FLUdpOwYQLOJxfSYASkRyffKtJ Learn more about your ad choices.
