Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant

Show Notes

Hi everyone! We’re still a little ways away from the next season of Going Wild, but today we're sharing an episode of a great new podcast called The Class of 1989. In this episode, Len and Vincent talk about the representation of Black women in the films of 1989 — and how Black women directors would help transform the film world throughout the 1990s and into the present.

Going Wild is back! This season we're heading out of the studio and into the wilderness: entering bear dens in Arkansas, diving for slave shipwrecks in the Florida Keys and wading through murky swamps to bring you closer to the people, the animals, the sounds and the stories that make these wild spaces so magical and so worth protecting.
