February 11 – Looking Ahead to Nevada and South Carolina; A Further Look at the Bernie Sanders Revolution; The Filmmaker of the Academy Award-Nominated “The Look of Silence”

Full Program

Part 1

We begin with a look ahead to the Nevada caucuses and the South Carolina primary which is expected to be a nasty mud-slinging competition on the Republican side and speak with Margie Omero, a managing director at Purple Strategies and the former President of Momentum Analysis where her clients were the DNC, the DCCC, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Emily’s List, Members of Congress and campaigns across the country.  We will discuss the momentum Bernie Sanders has and Hillary Clinton’s problem in this year of the outsider as a status quo candidate who wants to improve the system, not change it.

Part 2

Then we take a further look at the Bernie Sanders revolution with Will Bunch, an award-winning senior writer for the Philadelphia Daily News whose latest E-book in “The Bern Identity”. He joins us to discuss his article at Philly.com “Bernie Sanders and the revolution of rising expectations” and how the festering anger in the land over income inequality, diminishing opportunity and a general disgust with politics and politicians is now finding its voice at the ballot box.

Part 3

Then finally we speak with Joshua Oppenheimer, a two-time Oscar nominated film director of a new feature documentary up for this year’s Academy Awards best feature documentary. He joins us to discuss his sequel to “The Act of Killing” which profiles perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide as they reenact their war crimes without remorse, his new film “The Look of Silence” which is just out in theaters nationwide.
