On the next SOUNDS with Tom Needham is director and producer Asako Gladsjo, one of the visionary filmmakers behind Eyes on the Prize III: We Who Believe in Freedom Cannot Rest 1977–2015.
For decades, Eyes on the Prize has set the standard for chronicling the Civil Rights Movement, offering an unflinching look at the ongoing fight for racial and social justice in America.
In its latest installment, Eyes on the Prize III, a new generation of filmmakers explores the movement’s evolution from the late 1970s to 2015—an era marked by both progress and profound challenges.
Asako directed the series’ final episode, What Comes After Hope?, which examines the years of Barack Obama’s presidency, the rise of Black Lives Matter, and the harsh reality that despite claims of a “post-racial America,” the struggle for justice is far from over.
The Six-Part Documentary Series Premieres on HBO & Available to Stream on MAX.
