Brad Lichtenstein is an award-winning filmmaker who has been making documentaries since 1998 and founded 371 Productions in 2003. His recent film, When Claude Got Shot (produced with Stick Figure) premiered at the 2021 SXSW film festival, was featured in May of 2022 on PBS series Independent Lens, and won the 2022 Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking. He’s been nominated for two Emmys: one Sports Emmy for the VR film Ashe ’68, which premiered at Sundance in 2019, and a News and Documentary Emmy for the 2012 Independent Lens/PBS film As Goes Janesville. He’s won two Duponts: one for the 2016 Al Jazeera America series Hard Earned (produced with Kartemquin Films) and another for his 2001 film Ghosts of Attica (produced with Lumiere Productions). His latest work is American Coup: Wilmington 1898 which tells the little-known story of a deadly race massacre and carefully orchestrated insurrection in North Carolina’s largest city in 1898 — the only coup d’état in the history of the US. Stoking fears of “Negro Rule,” self-described white supremacists used intimidation and violence to destroy Black political and economic power and overthrow Wilmington’s democratically-elected, multi-racial government. Black residents were murdered and thousands were banished. The story of what happened in Wilmington was suppressed for decades until descendants and scholars began to investigate. Today, many of those descendants — Black and white — seek the truth about this intentionally buried history. Brad directed Metcalfe Park: Black Vote rising in 2020 with Miela Fetaw — a short for PBS/World Channel and The Intercept. His 2018 film There Are Jews Here won a Telly award and was broadcast on PBS/World. He was nominated for a Peabody for his radio series about gun violence, Precious Lives. Brad has also produced for Frontline and Bill Moyers. He is credited for the recent films Attica, by Stanley Nelson, and Citizen Ashe, by Sam Pollard and Rex Miller. His company has long been committed to nurturing the careers of emerging women and BIPOC storytellers.
