Indiewire interviews Ricki Stern & Annie Sundberg

Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg directed The Trials of Darryl Hunt screening in the Independent Film Competition: Documentary section at Sundance 2006. According to Sundance, their documentary examines the "impact of crime, race and law on a community divided along racial lines" in the case of Darryl Hunt, who was wrongly convicted in a 1984 North Carolina rape and murder. Stern and Sundberg also collaborated on the 1998 documentary In My Corner about a community boxing club in New York City.

IW: Please tell us about yourself. Where did you grow up? What jobs have you had? Where do you live?

Ricki Stern: I grew up in New York City and went to college in New Hampshire. When I graduated I came back to New York and have lived there ever since -- except for a short stint in graduate school in theater in North Carolina, which is how I originally learned about the Darryl Hunt case.
