'Duty Free' Documentary

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 24, 2021

[REBROADCAST FROM MAY 6, 2021] Director Sian-Pierre Regis joins us to discuss his documentary, “Duty Free,” which tells the story of his mother, Rebecca Danigelis, who joins the conversation too. After she was fired at age 75 from her job as a hotel housekeeper, Regis decides to take her on a bucket-list adventure to reclaim her life. As she struggles to find work, he documents a journey that uncovers the economic insecurity shaping not only her future, but that of an entire generation.
