This is the first major documentary on artist Georgia O’Keeffe since the 70s. Charlottesville filmmaker Paul Wagner directed the film and we have an interesting discussion about this fascinating woman, including:
– Why the film started in Basel, Switzerland
– The meaning of the title
– O’Keefe lived in Williamsburg and Charlottesville
– 25,000 pages of letters between her and Alfred Stieglitz
– Seeing O’Keeffe not wearing black and wearing makeup
– Getting Claire Danes and her husband Hugh Dancy to do the voiceovers
– Using a graphic approach to the visuals
– Her mental health issues

What Wakes Me Up Episode 6 Veterans Tell Their Stories presents:

Friends, to commemorate Veterans Day, 11/11, Episode 6 of What Wakes Me Up features the plight of military veterans in our communities. Two Veterans have cocreated this episode by generously telling their stories; one from the Vietnam War and one from the continuing war in the Middle East.

They independently related facts that are common to both their lives:

  • Sharing their experiences helps other veterans, and themselves.
  • War is just wrong, for so many reasons.
  • The military misrepresented facts to them around enlistment and benefits.
  • Getting help with mental health is difficult, stigmatized and inconsistent.
