We speak with filmmaker Cheo Tyehimba Taylor about his new film, “Together We Rise,” a 3-part doc about everyday people across California finding their power to change the “systems” that repress them. Film tackles food justice for African immigrants in San Diego, revisiting the painful past of Indian boarding schools and reclaiming native languages in the classroom on a reservation in Del Norte County, and new approaches to community healing and restorative justice from police violence against Latino men in Salinas. Film made possible with support from The California Endowment.
