Public Defender is a film produced by Spark Media, following the career of Heather Shaner, a defense attorney in Washington, D.C., known for her distinctive blue hair and dedication to representing clients who cannot afford legal counsel. Over her 40-year career, Shaner's commitment is tested when she is assigned to represent Jack Griffith, a social media influencer, and Annie Howell, a single mother and painter, both charged for their involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot. As Shaner learns more about her clients, she discovers they were influenced by misinformation and believed they were defending democracy.
The film explores the state of U.S. democracy, the forces threatening it, and the individuals dedicated to its protection. Through the interactions between Shaner and her clients, the film reveals how people can bridge divides and find common humanity in a polarized political environment.
The film was produced in association with the Pulitzer Center. [1] and with support from a Commitment Grant from Mountainfilm [2]. Public Defender will premiere at Mountainfilm and will have its East Coast premiere at DC/DOX [3]
The Pulitzer Center has a bold vision: to be the venue for the world’s most innovative and consequential reporting, with journalism as the key element for mobilizing society through audience engagement strategies. Founded in 2006, the Center is an essential source of support for enterprise reporting in the United States and across the globe. The thousands of journalists and educators who are part of their networks span more than 80 countries, reaching tens of millions of people each year through news-media partners and an audience-centered strategy of global and regional engagement.
Founded in 2015, the Program on Extremism at George Washington University has quickly become a leading research center on all forms of extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work and developing pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. Its partnerships with some of the world’s most prominent universities, think tanks, media outlets, and governmental agencies are a testament to the Program’s research quality, independence, and innovative approach.
The Media and Peacebuilding Project at George Washington University seeks to understand the constantly developing communication landscape and the unique challenges for human security and peace that have emerged as a result. The project works with researchers and practitioners to find solutions that lead to just and peaceful outcomes, focusing on the challenges posed by today's information environment and the opportunities for reaching the masses instantaneously over modern communication networks.
