Director and host Ava DuVernay recently gave a sneak peek at her own behind-the-scenes directing techniques in an interview with InStyle:

"I pick what I want to get out of the scene and through music, color, performance, and words, I’m able to manufacture and change how you think. I can be in your head, and I love it. There are images in each film that make me feel proud."

The docu-series is executively produced by Ava DuVernay, Paul Garnes, Bruce Robertson, Neil Miller, and Sonia Slutsky. It is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted television in association with Warner Horizon and ARRAY Filmworks.
