February 02, 2022 • Culturally Speaking • Season 4 • Episode 5

Christopher Chambers, director and writer of A Fire Within, an award-winning human rights documentary about three courageous women and their inspiring and historic attempt to bring their torturer to justice in Atlanta, Georgia. It chronicles the incredible true story of three Ethiopian women who immigrate to the U.S. after surviving torture in their home country, only to discover that the man responsible for their torture is not only living in the US but is employed at the same midtown Atlanta hotel as one of the women. Christopher talks about the process he went through to get the documentary made, the challenges he overcame and his immersion in Ethiopian culture. Award-winning Writer-Director Christopher Chambers is known for his breakout feature debut, "Aram, Aram."
