    Interview with Ginger Gentile - Director of Erasing Family - Part 2

    Ginger Gentile is best known for directing "Erasing Family", which exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives after divorce, a problem facing 22 million families in the US alone. The film was made after a nearly half a million crowdfunding campaign and is currently streaming. Ginger has also been a guest on Red Table Talk.

    Prior work includes directing "Erasing Dad" (Borrando a Papá) and Goals for Girls: A story of Women with Balls (Mujeres con Pelotas). Both are feature documentaries that focus on gender stereotypes and "Erasing" was the most talked about documentary in Argentina, the country of its production, in 2014 and made front page news as attempts were made to censor it.
