A Very Special Q&A
with This Land Producer
We featured This Land — a beautiful film about inclusion, empowerment, and public land access — in our “Reclaiming Our Future” Themed Film Segment. Our New Voices Are Rising youth had a special opportunity to interview Faith E. Briggs, Producer and subject of the film. Watch This Land on the film’s website and check out New Voices’ Q&A with Faith below! The Q&A and “Reclaiming Our Future” Themed Film Segment are sponsored by Community Bank of the Bay.
