In this week's episode, guest Curran Nault discusses his article "Documenting the Dead: Call Her Ganda and the Trans Activist Afterlife of Jennifer Laude," which analyzes the production and circulation of the documentary that Nault co-produced about the murder of transpinay Jennifer Laude by a US marine. Informed by his roles as both producer and media scholar, Nault raises critical questions about the aesthetics and ethics of re-presenting trans death and, ultimately, reflects on the possibilities and limitations of documentary as a trans activist tool.
