Filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler spoke with indieWIRE’s Eugene Hernandez about their film, WILLIAM KUNSTLER: DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE, as part of the “Meet the Filmmaker” series hosted by indieWIRE and Apple during the Tribeca Film Festival, at the Apple store in SoHo.
The interview available here as an iTunes podcast. 
The sisters discuss growing up as the daughters of the radical lawyer William Kunstler, and their relationship to him and his work – from their teen years, when he passed away, through adulthood and coming to terms with his legacy. Quoting Babies director Thomas Balmés, Hernandez points out great documentaries must have tension between subject and documentarian. The sisters grappled with finding their narrative voice, and with the emotions of interviewing their father’s detractors – and created a profound personal portrait of the public figure.
