Check out this week's edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry. Host Ray Cornelius is talking art and activism with filmmaker Ben Robinson from Image Nation ATL. They have teamed up with Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay and her company, ARRAY to represent a film series at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. He’s here to chat about that and more.
In the second half of the show, I’ll revisit my conversation with Ava DuVernay and her movie Origin. The film is based on the book CASTE: The Origins of Our Discontents by former Emory University Journalism professor Isabel Wilkerson and explores the mystery of history, the wonders of romance, and a fight for our future.
UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry is produced and hosted by Ray Cornelius for Jazz 91.9 WCLK. The show re-airs on SiriusXM HBCU Channel 142 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 6:30pm EST.
