As the privacy profession surpasses the quarter-century mark and enters into a brave new world of artificial intelligence and digital entropy, it's worth taking a look back to assess how far the profession has come. That's exactly what long-time privacy pro Stephen Bolinger embarked upon when he decided to film a documentary on the rise of the privacy profession. "Privacy People" explores the veritable plethora of interpretations of the privacy concept through the voices of some of the profession's most seasoned and respected privacy leaders. Bolinger said he felt there was a really compelling story to tell. By juxtaposing on-the-street interviews with individuals to sit down discussions with some of privacy's luminaries in government, industry, civil society and academia, "Privacy People" looks at how this dynamic profession has grown and changed over the years, as well as recognizing the prominent role women have played throughout its evolution. Earlier this year, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy sat down with Bolinger to discuss the impetus for his documentary and how he went about filming "Privacy People."
For many survivors, leaving isn't just about walking away—it's about risking safety, stability, and even the roof over their heads. People often ask, “Why don't they just leave?” without realizing how tangled the reality is: money, fear, kids, isolation. The abuse doesn't always look like bruises; sometimes it's control so deep it seeps into every part of a person's life. And when every option feels like a loss, staying can seem like the only thing that makes any kind of sense. Sola Adenekan, award-winning documentarian and entrepreneur, shares how surviving domestic violence led her to launch Misiones Body Care, a business that empowers other survivors. She also ta;lsabout her work as a Housing Commissioner and filmmaker, using storytelling to spotlight injustice and drive change. Her award-winning film "Whistleblowers" reflects her commitment to truth and accountability. Through advocacy and art, Sola pushes for policy reforms and safe housing for abuse survivors. Her mission is rooted in healing, justice, and self-reliance. Stay tuned! Quotes: “The experience does not define the soul; rather, the soul defines the experience.” “Oftentimes, survivors leave with nothing and are forced to rebuild their lives, but starting from scratch with nothing is a monumental task.” “Entrepreneurism, for me, was my escape—to be able to gain my independence back.” Resources: Vegan Body and Lip Care That Supports Domestic Violence Surivors | Misiones BodyCare Connect with Sola Adenekan on LinkedIn

Send us a textWhat happens when the guns fall silent? When a director embarks on a journey to understand his brothers' experiences in war, he discovers a story far more complex than he anticipated—one that spans 15 years and follows the profound transformation of men who went from young soldiers to veterans finding their way home.In "Brothers After War," documentary filmmaker Jake Rademacher reconnects with his two brothers and ten other veterans he embedded with during the Iraq War. The film weaves together past and present, creating a tapestry that shows these warriors as they were—young, idealistic, and thrust into the chaos of combat—and as they are now—seasoned adults navigating the challenges of civilian life with humor, wisdom, and sometimes, deep pain.The documentary doesn't flinch from difficult truths. In perhaps its most powerful moment, Jake's brother Joe reveals he once sat with a gun in his mouth, half a pound of pressure away from ending his life—something he'd never told his family before. This raw confession illuminates the epidemic of veteran suicide that has claimed 35,000 lives since the War on Terror began. Yet the film isn't defined by darkness. We watch as veterans forge new paths—building businesses, raising families, supporting fellow veterans, and finding purpose beyond their military service. From a former sniper turned commercial banker to a lieutenant colonel who discovers joy in forestry management, these stories illustrate the remarkable resilience of those who've served.What distinguishes "Brothers After War" is its intimate perspective, possible only because of Jake's unique position as both filmmaker and brother. The camera captures unguarded moments of brotherly love, conflict, and healing that transcend the typical war documentary. When one veteran says his most memorable moment from the past two decades is "right now—knowing someone still cares," we understand the film's true mission: to ensure veterans know they're not forgotten, that their stories matter, and that the bonds forged in war can help build bridges to civilian life. Executive produced by Gary Sinise, this is more than a documentary—it's a reminder that while war ends, the journey of the warrior continues, deserving of our attention, understanding, and support.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 13 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. We start the Season Thirteen Finale off strong with a look the incredible life and work of Zaydee Sanchez, a Mexican American documentary photographer, visual journalist and writer originally from Tulare, California whose work focuses on labor workers, the environment, and migration, who is interviewed by Kendal Roney. They begin with a discussion of Sanchez's journey of becoming a journalist including how she started off by taking photos at Skid Row to display the heart of the community and then transitioned to documenting a Guatemalan man for two years. They talk about the impact visual journalism has on our society and why it's so valuable. Sanchez dives into the process of documenting hot button topics of recent years and explains how she paints an authentic picture of the people and communities she covers, noting the strict morals that go behind it all. They conclude with Sanchez explaining her evolution as a visual journalist and why it started from a passion project. And we send the 13th season of Catalyst off into the sunset with this concluding interview of TikTok content creator Sarah Pascarella by Samantha Perez. A graduate of Cal State Long Beach University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Journalism, Sarah discusses how she made the decision post-graduation to live abroad as an Au Pair in Paris, France. Sarah and Samantha discuss how Sarah, having not known the language at first and experiencing the cultural shift of the move, decided to document her experiences on TikTok sparking discussions on the cultural differences. Sarah's documentation of her life and work have given her a unique voice as a content creator, as she looks at her own perspective shifts in witty and authentic ways. The pair also discuss how diving into the role of influencer has given her new career goals and how she plans to integrate her creativity into her influencer content. They wrap up the interview with some poignant advice from Sarah regarding taking new leaps in life and how new experiences can shape you, just as her choices in career and living in Paris have shaped her own development as a person.

Today, Hunter spoke with Emmy Award winning documentarian and investigative journalist, Gianna Toboni to discuss her new book The Volunteer: The Failure of the Death Penalty and One Inmate's Quest to Die with Dignity. In this book, Gianna tells the story of Scott Dozier. He was on death row in Nevada for two separate homicide convictions, but despite him volunteering to be executed, forces both inside and outside of the prison prevented the state from executing him. Ultimately, Dozier took his own life after a few weeks on a mental health, solitary confinement hold. How did this all happen and what can we learn about the death penalty in America?

In this episode, Dan Richardson, actor, filmmaker, and passionate animal advocate, shares his inspiring journey into veganism and the making of his documentary, Food for Thought. He discusses the moment he realised the hypocrisy in advocating for animal welfare while still consuming animal products, and how his transition to veganism was both logical and liberating.

Documentarian, Darcy Weir, joins me to discuss the famous 1973 Pascagoula Mississippi UFO encounter and alleged alien abduction incident. In his latest docuseries, Pascagoula ‘73, Weir delves deep into the strange and traumatic riverside incident reported by Calvin Parker and Charlie Hickson - which involved the most uncanny of creatures. Featured heavily in the documentary is ufologist Philip Mantle. As the story unfolds, we learn of the additional (and bizarre) encounter of Maria and Jerry Blair who allegedly may have been abducted by the same entities. Is there enough evidence to make the unbelievable, believable?

Mikey Liesner is a Videographer, Documentarian, and co-host of The Strange Road Podcast. This one gets chalked up into that column of episodes that I can simply describe as FUN. As we dive into Mikey's story of navigating a career in video, we really dig into how it all started when he was young, due to him wanting to grab a camera to travel the world and document the strange and unusual. This conversation is filled with talking about fun things like ancient sites like the serpent mound here in Ohio, lost civilizations, wild conspiracies, aliens, ghosts, cryptids and a bunch of other stuff that I love but don't ever get to talk about on this show. As we weave in and out of paranormal talk, we also cover things battling creative burnout and fighting for motivation to chase goals and get things accomplished, projects he still wants to achieve, some of the amazing people he's met in his travels, and a few wildly interesting experiences to go with it all. The best way I can explain this one, is just flat out fun!

The holidays are here and we're taking a much needed break, but we wanted to leave you one more holiday gift before we left. It's a special episode from our archives and it's one that means a lot to us. We're rewinding things all of the way back to fall of 2022, right before the midterms. It was a time when we needed to hear a voice of reason. Someone to ground us. To calm us all down with some sobering reality. Some history. Some perspective. And some wisdom. Ken Burns (@KenBurns) is a truly important, inspiring and iconic American who is shaping what America has been, what it is, and what it will be. He is an exceptionally wise, insightful and trusted leader. A man who understands history--and the historic nature of the times. He's the visionary mastermind behind the greatest stories of our country—of our people–of our history—and of our future. The Civil War (1990), Baseball (1994), Jazz (2001), The War (2007), The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009), Prohibition (2011), The Roosevelts (2014), The Vietnam War (2017), and Country Music, and now, The US and the Holocaust–a new six-and-half-hour documentary directed and produced by Ken Burns and his longtime partners Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein. They describe it as a deep dive into "America's response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history." He's also the author of the new book, Our America: A Photographic History. He's a historian. He's a documentarian. He's a master storyteller. He's a patriot. He's our mirror. And he's a conscience for us all. Have a great holiday and we'll be back next week with another great look back before we return in 2025 with all new episodes.

Explore the dualities of morality, fate, and human frailty in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), Woody Allen's masterful blend of dark comedy and philosophical drama. To close out 2024 and our Patreon-requested series, Mike White welcomes Andras Jones and Keith Gordon for a spirited discussion of this haunting tale. With Martin Landau and Allen himself leading parallel storylines—one of an ophthalmologist spiraling into ethical darkness, the other of a struggling documentarian chasing unrequited love—the film weaves an intricate tapestry of guilt, ambition, and existential reckoning. Along the way, a blind rabbi offers wisdom (and serves as a poignant metaphor) as the characters navigate their moral crossroads. The episode features an interview with Woody Allen's friend and biographer Eric Lax who describes Allen's process and the evolution of Crimes and Misdemeanors.
