Variety and Rolling Stone are proud to announce the joint release of their third annual Truth Seekers special issue celebrating journalism and documentary filmmaking. The special print edition coincides with the annual Truth Seekers Summit in New York on Aug. 15, featuring panel discussions about politics, social justice and more events with notable figures in media and entertainment.
Among the distinguished professionals interviewed for the special print issue is CNN foreign correspondent Clarissa Ward, who’s reported from conflict zones all over the world, including, most recently, the battlefields of Ukraine and Gaza.
The magazine also includes a conversation with Jamila Wignot, the filmmaker behind “Stax: Soulsville U.S.A.”, a searing four-part documentary on the legendary record label and how it embodied the complicated intersection of race and capitalism in the 1960s and 1970s.
