When the call to change our look on things is ignored, they might stay out of sight for hundreds of years. Why is this such a challenge individually and collectively?
Tessa Boerman is an independent documentary filmmaker (A Knock Out, Puck and the Riddle of Codes, Zwart Belicht) film programmer and cultural advisor. Her work focusses mainly on issues of intersectional inclusion in the film industry. She curated several film programmes for the International Film Festival Rotterdam like Black Rebels, Pan African Cinema Today and the Afro Brazilian program Soul in the Eye. On IDFA 2020 she calls for action together with Shamira Raphaëla in Framing of Us to decolonize practices in the documentary film industry. Tessa works and lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Brilliant discussion. It takes humility and truly understanding that we are imperfect and we don't know everything. There has to be a willingness to learn from others. And also a desire to truly want to want a society that is better for everyone and not just for ourselves.
