Bari, hopefully you will see this comment which I have posted on July 23, 2022. I just watched Eli Steele’s new half-hour documentary about Jodi Shaw and the incident at Smith College. It is called “Jodi Shaw and the Racial Mask of Whiteness.”

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whjsCX3dFxU

Eli is a wonderful filmmaker, as anyone who has seen “What Killed Michael Brown?” can attest. This new documentary is also a masterful piece of work, characterized by Steele’s slowly unfolding narrative style. This film deserves a wide audience. I came upon it by accident, because for some reason Jodi Shaw came into my mind and I wondered what she was up to today.

I’m asking you to please consider publicizing or featuring the documentary in some way, here on your Substack or on your podcast, as a follow-up to your reporting on Jodi Shaw. Otherwise, people who do not watch Fox, or who have active animosity towards Fox (they are legion), may miss this important and deeply relevant piece of documentary filmmaking. Eli Steele is a treasure. So is Jodi Shaw. The film broke my heart, infuriated me, and inspired me at the same time.

Thank you.
