Silence and Struggle: The Filmmaker on 'Quiet Voices in a Noisy World' (Ft. Alan Govaner)

In this powerful episode, we sit down with writer, poet, filmmaker, and community advocate Alan Govaner for a profound discussion that bridges art and history. Alan shares his journey, beginning with a fascinating segment on how writers "become vintage" like fine wine.

The conversation then moves to Alan’s dedicated work within African American communities in the U.S., including his effort to showcase a generation of African American photographers at the Jasper museum. We dive deep into his documentary, "Quiet Voices in a Noisy World: The Struggle for Change in Jasper, Texas," which explores the heart of a community scarred by tragedy and fueled by resilience.

Alan provides essential context, discussing the painful history of the James Byrd Jr. lynching and the lasting impact of the slave narrative documented in the 90s book "Untold Story." This is a conversation about art as activism, the profound resolve of people striving for freedom, and the critical importance of keeping "quiet voices" heard in a noisy world.
