Back to Reader

“I took a while, I think, to figure out what I wanted to say in the world. I feel I took very seriously the responsibility of saying anything and of gathering enough craft to say it well.” —Lucy Walker

Award-winning filmmaker and VR director Lucy Walker joins Amazon Studios film acquisitions and development executive Scott Foundas for a conversation about her fascinating career and the art of documentary filmmaking. A master of her craft, Walker captures sublime turning points in people’s lives when they must push past impossibility and “dare to be honest,” conjuring that most human need to connect. Her works in the retrospective included Waste Land (2010), Countdown to Zero (2010), The Crash Reel (2013), and an evening of her short documentary films. During their conversation, Lucy shares her experience breaking into the world of documentary and VR filmmaking, her previous career as a DJ, and her approach to storytelling.

The Human Frontier: Scott Foundas on the Films of Lucy Walker

Lucy Walker, writes critic Scott Foundas, uses her documentary camera to map a majestic and sometimes treacherous landscape: the human frontier. Over two decades, she has traveled to the literal ends of the earth—from the peaks of Everest to the depths of a Brazilian landfill, Tsunami-ravaged Japan to post-Fidel Cuba—to chronicle stories of resilience and rehabilitation, and of individuals and families, even entire populations, navigating extraordinary seasons of change. And no matter how seemingly “foreign” the milieu, Walker achieves the same bracing intimacy with her subjects.

Person to Person: Lucy Walker’s Small-P Political Documentaries

“I always think of myself as a ‘small-p political’ person,” says documentarian Lucy Walker, whose films include The Crash Reel, Waste Land, and Countdown to Zero. “The things that have the most impact on me are personal stories, stories of individuals. I believe that human beings mirror one another. We look to each other to relate to one another and learn. So in my movies I try to allow the audience to experience a world they’ve never seen through people they wouldn’t otherwise meet.”
