New interview on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE with award-winning Oscar Nominated filmmaker Connie Field.

Writer and philosopher George Santayana once said: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Few filmmakers embody that lesson more powerfully than Connie Field, whose documentaries on politics, history, and social change have shaped how we understand democracy and human rights today.

Her groundbreaking film The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter highlighted the untold stories of American women working in World War II factories. Her Oscar-nominated Freedom on My Mind documented voter suppression and the fight for voting rights in 1960s Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement.

Now, in her latest documentary DEMOCRACY NOIR, Field turns her camera to Europe, exposing the rise, fall, and return to power of Viktor Orbán in Hungary—a chilling example of how democratic institutions can be eroded and transformed into tools of authoritarian rule.

This conversation with Connie Field is an urgent reminder of the importance of protecting democracy, both abroad and here in the United States.
