Director Mike Hazard Attending
In Competition: Minnesota Made Documentary Feature
George Stoney, founding father of public access and trailblazer for social reform in documentary, has been hailed as the Johnny Appleseed of documentary film and is the self-anointed “happy collaborator.” His film All My Babies (1952), an educational film on an African American midwife, was chosen in 2006 for the National Registry by the Library of Congress. Local filmmaker Mike Hazard uses clips from Stoney’s extensive body of work, interviews with his colleagues and friends, and intimate recordings with Stoney himself to build a portrait of this one-of-a-kind man.
