Filmmaker Q&A with Sanjay Rawal of 'Gather: The Fight to Revitalize Our Native Foodways'
Q: What is the focus of your film?
A: The film looks at colonization and the destruction of food systems, and at those attempting to revive them. It focuses on areas that were colonized post-1870s, west of the Mississippi—places where I could find the essential imagery, the photographic evidence, I needed to tell these stories. The challenge was to hone a very large subject scope into something based in image. Structure is essential in film, as are length considerations, as is, of course, finding the best stories to tell.
