About the director:
“Graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Film, Sociology and African American Studies. While a student Hill completed his first short feature length documentary, Witness a Peace Movement: a Documentary from the Streets of the U.S. Anti-War Movement. Shortly after relocating to the Bay Area he founded MentalRev Productions. Roger has since directed, filmed and edited a compilation of 12 short documentaries, music videos and a narrative-documentary hybrid on issues such as: Homophobia and the ballot box, Police violence during protest actions, the historic March for Women’s Lives in Washington D.C., Love Stories from people experiencing homelessness, Military Recruitment Lies, the experience of Lebanese Civilians during the 2006 “July War,” and more. The Anthology DVD of Mental-Rev short films was completed in 2009. In 2012 Hill completed the documentary film Struggle concerning U.S. election fraud, and the racist allocation of voting resources. Struggle aired over 20 times on Link TV in the run up to the 2012 Presidential Election. Hill has co-produced a segment for the program Democracy Now, and contributed video to works by artists such as Roger Waters of Pink Floyd and rapper Pharoahe Monch, in addition to several independent documentary projects. His work has been seen in the Athens International Film and Video Festival, Minneapolis Film Festival, the traveling Take Back Democracy Film Festival, The Arab Film Festival in San Francisco, the Standing Rock Film Festival, received honorable mention at the Twin Rivers Media Festival, and more. Hill has toured with his films in cities across the United States and worked as a trainer with the Voices Beyond Walls participatory media program in Gaza during the summer of 2010.”
