Personal & Political: The Film Of Natalia Almada - Personal & Political: The Film Of Natalia Almada - DVD

The recipient of a 2012 MacArthur Foundation "Genius" award and two-time Sundance winner, Mexican-American director Natalia Almada is one of the most celebrated documentary filmmakers of the last two decades. In this 5-disc set, Almada creates intense, genre-bending films that blur boundaries and the line between personal and the social. Drawing heavily on her Mexican background, Almada brings together disparate elements - archival audio recordings, home movie footage, literature, and closely observed moments - to create a distinctive and powerful body of work.
