"In 2003, I made a film called 'The Murder of Emmett Till,' exploring the details of that horrific event and how it galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. Now, almost 20 years later, the long overdue Emmett Till Antilynching Act makes lynching a federal hate crime for the first time in American history. In 2020, I joined Cameo George of American Experience | PBS to discuss 'The Murder of Emmett Till,' two of my other Civil Rights films, and how these stories help to shape social movements." - Stanley Nelson

Stanley Nelson’s 3 decades of telling Black stories
"I think that one of the things [making historical documentaries has] done for me is it’s helped me to understand that — that America’s like a roller coaster ride, you know? ... A lot of times we, especially, as African Americans, wanna look at the idea of “up from slavery.” Slavery was the worst, and now, it’s upward progression into the light. But it is really a roller coaster ride. There’s times when [it’s] at the top and there’s times when it goes down to the bottom. But it stays at the top much longer as long as we push. That’s not only African Americans, but [all] people of color. As long as we push for change, at least we’ve got a chance." Firelight Founder Stanley Nelson in conversation with Jamil Smith for Vox.
The Oscar-nominated director of Attica keeps showing us the real America.

From Firelight Films: Firelight Founder Stanley Nelson was honored yesterday with the Truth Seeker Award from Variety and Rolling Stone. As part of the Truth Seeker Summit, he also spoke with Variety contributing writer Addie Morfoot about the need for expanded support for Black filmmakers.
From the article: “A few years ago, he sat down with his partners at New York-based Firelight Films to decide whether the company should step up its volume of production as so many offers to produce features and multi-episode series began to flow in. Until a few years ago, Firelight primarily made one major film at a time. Not any more.
‘We said, let’s go for it,’ Nelson said. ‘Let’s see how much more we can do and how many more people we can work with as employees, because that’s our mission in the same way that it’s the mission of the Documentary Lab — how can we get more people of color into the industry? How can we employ more people who can then go on and fly on their own.’”
