Film Diplomacy goes to Ann Arbor! 💙 Had a blast talking about Film Diplomacy at the University of Michigan. I especially loved hearing students & scholars connect the framework to their own research from humanitarian media about refugees to education & policy.

I found 16mm films about Turkey in the middle of the United States and I wanted to understand why they were made. After years of research, I uncovered why they were sponsored, how they circulated, how they were received, and what they communicated. For answers: Film Diplomacy. ✨
