In this episode, I share the mic with filmmaker and director Matthew Solomon to discuss his recent documentary, 'Reimagining Safety,' which explores systemic issues in policing and law enforcement in America. Matthew shares his journey from wanting to be a rock star to becoming a filmmaker focused on social justice. The conversation dives deep into the concept of abolition, the importance of community, and the need to recognize humanity in one another. Matthew highlights the impact of social justice movements like Black Lives Matter and the importance of conflict resolution and empathy. They also touch on the influence of capitalism, systemic issues, and the critical need for community-based responses to policing. This episode aims to activate listeners to connect with local organizations and foster community engagement to promote social change.
