Three filmmakers selected to submit documentaries to Oolite Arts’ “Pass the Mic: We Will Tell Our Stories” focus on issues from gentrification in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood to the plight of day laborers in Homestead as well as tenants’ rights in Miami.
Danielle Bender of Oolite Arts and Nadege Green of the Community Justice Project selected Ronald Baez, Diana Larrea and Terrence Price II for Oolite’s second commissioned film series, which will be screened at the Little Haiti Cultural Center at 7 p.m., Friday, July 22, followed by a discussion moderated by Green.
Baez, Larrea and Price were given a list of organizations from which to select. “We wanted to look at ways to work with filmmakers collaboratively with community members as experts,” says Green.
