Joining the podcast to talk about their film — and their deep connections to it — are directors Laura Dyan Kezman and William Howell, both of whom are from Racine. Uniquely Milwaukee host Kim Shine also sits in for this one as the quartet talk about:
- Howell's personal connection to West's family and the Racine community, which helped build trust for the deeply personal footage in the film.
- The challenging process of obtaining public information from authorities.
- How the death of George Floyd in 2020 reframed their work.
- Who holds power in the criminal justice system, particularly the District Attorney.
- The challenges of and potential for filmmaking in Wisconsin.
- The hope that "Cycle" serves as a catalyst and inspires viewers to push social justice forward.
