'Being Mary Tyler Moore' Director on Lena Waithe's Greatest Advice for the Project | Doc Dreams

James Adolphus, director of ‘Being Mary Tyler Moore’ joins Variety’s Doc Dreams presented by National Geographic to discuss how making this film was his introduction to Mary Tyler Moore, why the feminist movement wrongly came down on the 'Mary Tyler Moore Show', and how producer Lena Waithe helped them lean into the archival footage instead of showing footage from interviews.

My mom was born in 1957 and she always said how progressive and inspiring Mary was. Even in 2023 I see her that way❤

This was such a wonderful, well thought out and crafted film. It's hard to put into words what MTM gave to us, and it's difficult to encapsulate all the ways she connected us to her. She was a huge influence for my generation for sure. Thank you for this beautiful tribute!
