Cathy Henkel is a producer, director, academic and researcher. She brings all of those skills to bear on her documentary projects, and recently has been looking into what it takes to navigate an independent path as a filmmaker. In a session called Riding the Freedom Streams at this year’s Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC), she invited documentary makers to brave the waters of a freer path.
