Julia Reichert, Oscar-winning filmmaker behind 'American Factory' who explored race, class and gender, dies at 76.
Reichert died Thursday night in Ohio from cancer, her family said. She had been diagnosed with Stage 4 urothelial cancer in 2018.
Born in 1946 in Princeton, N.J., and raised in Bordentown and Long Beach Island with her three brothers, Reichert started finding her voice as a filmmaker at Antioch College in Ohio, beginning her long residency in the state. “I came of age in the ’60s. Millions of us saw racism, saw U.S. domination around the world. Imperialism. Saw huge inequalities class wise. We said the system’s not working and we became, in some broad sense, revolutionaries,” Reichert told the radio station WYSO last year. “Not that we wanted to attack the White House but we really wanted to change society.”
“One of the many things I love about this film ... is that you let people tell their own story,” the former first lady said in 2019. “‘American Factory’ doesn’t come in with a perspective. It’s not an editorial. I mean, you truly let people speak for themselves, and that is a powerful thing that you don’t always see happen.”
