Both houses of Congress voted not only to cut funds to public media and international aid, but also TO REDUCE THEIR OWN POWER. These were funds they’d already appropriated.
They look foolish and weak.

My latest film looks at erasure, the re-writing of history and what happens when people fight back to reclaim what was forgotten.

I hope you’ll check out the film on the PBS WORLD Channel YouTube page and that it leaves you feeling moved and fulfilled.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.
