Stories Behind the scenes

Over the years, Black Public Media has worked with hundreds of storytellers. While the public eventually gets to see the fruit of these artists’ labors, they don’t always get to hear about the journey or the reflections makers have once a project is complete. In 2025, we started collecting a series of Q&A interviews with some of our filmmakers for our newsletter. This section of our website is devoted to archiving those conversations. We hope you enjoy reading them and invite you to return again and again. Deep thanks to all the media makers who agreed to sit for these interviews.

Making 'The Inquisitor'

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re focusing this edition’s Artist Chat on Angela Tucker, a BPM family member whose latest documentary feature, The Inquisitor (about the life and career of former U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan), had its broadcast premiere last month and is now streaming on Independent Lens.
