Hear Leena Jayaswal, documentary filmmaker and award-winning photographer talk about how her first camera gave her agency to observe America and its culture from behind the safety of a lens. Listen as she now wields that talent to explore what mixed-race in America means in her new film called “Mixed.”
The film is a journey of two moms, one white, one brown, who travel around the country in search of what it means to be mixed-race 50 years after the historic 1967 Loving versus Virginia Supreme Court decision that made interracial marriages legal in the United States.
