Investigative filmmakers and journalists are committed to holding power to account and following a covert trail of misdeeds wherever it may lead. But what happens when the trail lands them on the doorstep of the most powerful governments, corporations, and institutions in the world? In three remarkable films in this year’s lineup, filmmakers and their subjects dare to stand up to powerful, perhaps even untouchable institutions. The Grab, by Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish) follows award-winning journalist Nathan Halverson and his team at the Center for Investigative Reporting as they trace an epic leak of documents to its source, revealing steps by China, Saudi Arabia, and a handful of other nations to gain control of food and water resources overseas to meet predicted shortages at home; In Into the Weeds, celebrated filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal (Manufactured Landscapes) unravels the story of Dewayne “Lee” Johnson, an unassuming Bay Area groundskeeper who won a legal battle against the global corporation Monsanto, after a jury ruled he developed cancer from exposure to RoundUp, its best-selling weed killer; For Hazing, filmmaker Byron Hurt (Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes) examines the culture of hazing on college campuses and the systems that protect it from accountability; In The Trojan Horse Affair, a Serial podcast, Brian Reed and Hamza Syed challenged reporting by the British press on a supposed plot to install sharia in a British public school. This panel will examine the risks and precautions taken, or not, when standing up to face Goliath.
