In this special episode, I’m joined in two interviews by director Andie Redwine and star Richard Propes to discuss their documentary The Tenderness Tour, which premiered at this year’s Heartland Film Festival. We discuss the process of creating the film, documenting Richard’s activism, the experience bringing the film to HIFF, the decades long history of The Tenderness Tour, and much more.
