Lisa Molomot §

Lisa Molomot is a Peabody Award-winning filmmaker who produces and directs social justice documentaries. Many of her recent works, Missing in Brooks County, The Cleaners, Safe Haven and Soledad, have focused on immigration and immigrant communities. She has also produced films about public education. Her hugely popular film School's Out has been an integral part of the worldwide movement to provide outdoor education for young children, and her short film Teaching in Arizona is an inside look at the teaching crisis in that state. She is currently working on two documentaries: one about an archaeology project in Tucson and the other, The First Birdman, about an 86-year old retired school teacher who is determined to prove that someone flew before the Wright Brothers.
