Film Pedagogy as Abolitionist Practice

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Durée 01:27:28

What does it mean to learn filmmaking as a practice of abolition?

In this first episode of Unmaking the Prison Image, host Pooja Rangan speaks with filmmakers and educators Christopher Harris, Brett Story, and Thanh Tran about how documentary shapes what we think we know about prisons, and how filmmaking can help us unlearn those assumptions.

The conversation traces how media literacy becomes a form of political education, from community radio to experimental cinema and a self-taught film collective inside San Quentin prison. Thanh recounts teaching himself filmmaking from a closet full of unused cameras inside prison. Brett reflects on learning narrative responsibility through activist media work. Chris asks how carceral images shape perception, and how dissonant filmmaking can interrupt them.

Together, they ask: What allows an image to do abolitionist work? And how can filmmaking become a collective practice for imagining worlds beyond incarceration?

Against the Carceral-Entertainment Complex

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 6 mai 2026 • Durée 01:28:35

What happens when entertainment joins forces with law enforcement? Who gets hurt, and who--or what--evades accountability?

In Episode 3 of Unmaking the Prison Image, host Pooja Rangan is joined by filmmaker Davit Osit, critical criminologist Michelle Brown, and formerly incarcerated policy advocate and founder of America on Trial, Inc. Vidal Guzman to discuss the social costs of carceral entertainment, from reality TV shows filmed inside prisons to self-appointed vigilantes and "predator catchers."

Davit Osit reflects on the ethical contradictions of documentary filmmaking, including his own film Predators, and walking the tightrope of complicity and challenge. Michelle Brown situates "carceral entertainment" within a broader political landscape that exhausts our imagination and normalizes punitive responses to harm. Vidal Guzman talks about how incarcerated people experience the physical and legal harms of incarcerated reality shows like 60 Days In and his work on the #AIRS (Abolish Incarcerated Reality Shows) campaign.

What About the Rapists and Murderers?

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 01:24:45

What happens when abolition meets its most common objection?

In Episode 2 of Unmaking the Prison Image, host Pooja Rangan brings together curator and scholar Rachel Nelson, documentary scholar Laliv Melamed, and feminist filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj to confront the question that often marks the limit of abolitionist imagination: “But what about the rapists and murderers?”

Drawing from personal experience and feminist media practice, the conversation examines how rape becomes a powerful moral and emotional boundary in debates about prisons across multiple geopolitical contexts.
