"How do you get an audience to love a green film?" asks @GlassmanMarc. Take a cue from Jennifer Baichwal and make a riveting courtroom with a compelling and very relatable narrative like she does with @intotheweedsdoc https://povmagazine.com/into-the-weeds-review-courtroom-drama-with-a-green-twist/
