Documentary Film Makers on Their Craft: Jeff Dunn and Jon Silver

00:00 /

As the Watsonville Film Festival approaches its final weekend, documentary filmmakers Jeff Dunn and Jon Silver talk about the changing world of their craft. Jon Silver’s short film, “Living in in Exile”, about the life of Nicaraguan “nuevo cancion” singer, Carlos Mejia Godoy, is playing at the festival in Seaside on March 15th. Mejia Godoy was forced to flee his homeland after speaking out against the government of Daniel Ortega, who he had once supported through his music and his work as a radio host.
