Across her more than 50 years as a filmmaker, Reichert received four Academy Award nominations and one win, two Primetime Emmys, a Director’s Guild Award and two Peabody Award nods. Her documentaries, including Oscar nominees “Union Maids,” “Seeing Red: Stories of American Communists” and “The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant,” dealt with themes of gender, class, race and the global economy.
“We didn’t even know we were in the running,” she said. “We were bowled over and like, ‘Holy shit.’ At that point, we were very young leftists, so Hollywood was not something we admired.” She and Bognar followed that up with 2020’s “9to5: The Story of a Movement,” about the National Association of Working Women, and two projects with comedian Dave Chappelle. Together, they made the critically acclaimed performance special “8:46,” about the murder of George Floyd, and the unreleased “Dave Chappelle: Live in Real Life,” about the comedian’s performances during the pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.
