Documentary Films

 As an investigative producer, Linda has taken her journalism skills to documentary filmmaking.  

 

From Emmy Award-winning director and producer Erika Cohn, Belly of the Beast chronicles a shocking pattern of involuntary, illegal sterilizations of women in California prisons. Linda served as an investigative producer on this searing documentary, which premiered opening night of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in 2020. Featuring an original song written and performed by Grammy winner Mary J. Blige, the film follows the heart-wrenching story of one courageous inmate and a dogged legal team as they uncover the abuses and wage a battle for legislative, legal and moral justice.

The Hunting Ground:

In 2013, Linda joined the Oscar-winning team behind The Invisible War to work on a groundbreaking film that, for the first time, exposed the culture of sexual assault on American college campuses. The movie, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015, has been shown in theaters and on college campuses around the globe, at the White House, and on CNN. The Hunting Ground received multiple accolades, including Oscar and Emmy nominations, and sparked a continuing movement to combat an entrenched system that leaves survivors devastated, vulnerable and with little recourse to seek justice.

 The Great American Lie:

Linda began work in 2015 on the third film from acclaimed filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, The Great American Lie. The documentary examines how social and economic inequality is preventing large swaths of society from achieving the American dream. The film premiered in April 2019 as an official selection at the San Francisco Film Festival.
