Who: Kalamu ya Salaam, poet, author, radio producer, teacher, and activist.

Film by: UNO student and filmmaker Alexandra Jones

Editor’s Note: NolaVie partners with students of UNO professor László Zsolt Fülöp, pairing them with artists, non-profits, environmental groups, and cultural entities to facilitate a live curriculum that results in a short documentary. In this short doc, UNO film student Alexandra Jones interviews the well-known New Orleans writer, whose name means “pen of peace.”

The Film and Theatre Department of UNO and NolaVie present this series of short films produced by the students in Laszlo Fulop’s documentary class. Read Renee Peck’s column about the program here.
