Diabetes, Documentaries, and Drive with Two Women in Film

Join us as we talk to Sophie Koivisto, a diabetic woman working in film as a camera op and cinematographer. We discuss the challenges of being a woman in film, being sick, and what it’s like to create your own opportunities. We also talk about narrative vs documentary.
