James Chase Sanchez (Middlebury College)

Sanchez's documentary Man on Fire untangles the pieces of Charles Moore’s life tracing the reasons he conducted a self-immolation protest against racism in 2014. It illustrates the racism of Moore’s hometown of Grand Saline, Texas and how residents of the town dealt with the aftermath of Moore’s death. Q&A time with the filmmaker follows the screening.
