On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” Caribbean-American actor Juliette Jeffers shares her coming-of-age film, “Pan Gyul.” Featured at multiple film festivals, including Atlanta’s BronzeLens Film Festival, the movie takes viewers to the island of Nevis. Jeffers spoke with Scott about the 15-minute film that was shot within six days. She also discussed what else she hopes to achieve in the film industry – including more feature films, film festivals, and compete for more awards.
Also on today’s show, for the past seven years, Brad Raffensperger has served as Georgia’s 29th Secretary of State. It's a position that gained Raffensperger international attention -- as well as threats from some Trump supporters -- when he defended Georgia's 2020 election results. Now, Raffensperger is preparing Georgians for one last midterm election before he leaves office in January, before sharing what's next for him. He also reflects on the changes to the state’s voting system during his tenure and shares his confidence in the security of Georgia elections.
