Unlearn Documentary; ending racism through story telling with Toni Autry

Audra Agen Season 4 Episode 1

Let's be friends!

Toni Autry is the creator and director of the Unlearn Documentary.  With the rise in protests and anger regarding racism, Toni was compelled to act differently.  She shared her first experience with racism as a young girl on social media.  This started a conversation that she never saw coming.  A film maker approached her to create a documentary, one that is unlike any other.  Toni interviews 30 individuals to tell their story of their first experience of racism, many of which had never spoken of it.  The goal of this film is to educate and dispel the misconceptions of racism that are perpetuated by media and ignorance.  Toni and her team are acting on the knowledge that you cannot end hate and anger with more of the same.  Only through compassion, empathy, education and human connection can true progress and change be achieved.
