August 23, 2013

Cliff Schecter: explained how the NFL pressured ESPN not to do a documentary on player safety, are the new leaks in the Uk Independent designed to undermine Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, does the NSA even know what Edward Snowden took? And the conviction of Chelsea Manning and the rights sickening exploitation of the Lane murder to promote guns and racism.

Film Guy Matthew Weiss talked Mike Leigh and Ray Carney, the legacy of film studies professor Ray Carney, why the digital age hasn’t always meant more artistic diversity, he offered several sites to track independent films and he recommended the documentaryHow To Make Money Selling Drugs and the film What Maisie Knew.
