Join us for our “Between the Lines” feature, as we shine an extra shaft of light on the work of our podcast guest. In this installment, we’re highlighting a memoir entitled The Maple Crew, by pioneering filmmaker Jessie Maple, written in collaboration with As Told To podcast guest E. Danielle Butler.
The book stands on Danielle’s bookshelf as a compelling example of her work, and her commitment to capturing the voices of men and women who inspire her and crafting those voices into stories that can inspire others.
For more on the life and career of Jessie Maple, you can check out her New York Times obituary, and visit the Criterion Channel to screen two of her best-known films—including “Will”, the first independent feature-length film directed by an African-American woman.
