Filmmaker and documentary photographer Isabelle Armand joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to share the remarkable story behind her powerful new film Glendora, a five-year, deeply immersive documentary set in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. Through intimate moments, everyday rituals, and unfiltered honesty, the film captures the heart, resilience, and cultural richness of a close-knit Black community whose voices are too often left out of the national conversation. Glendora has been making waves on the festival circuit and is being praised for its warmth, humanity, and collaborative approach to storytelling.

In this moving conversation, Isabelle opens up about what it meant to truly become part of the town she was filming, how trust and long-term relationships shaped the project, and why telling this story changed her forever. Robert and Isabelle also talk about empathy, representation, and the responsibility of capturing real lives on screen — along with the beauty of using film to bring overlooked communities into the spotlight.
