Larry Everest, Journalist, Revolution Newspaper, reveals the continuing cover-up by the Obama administration and BP of the real causes behind the catastrophic Gulf oil spill last spring. Everest shows how the dynamics of "profit above everything" that is the engine of capitalism led to the BP spill and will continue to savage the environment.

Eric Drooker, painter and graphic novelist, talks about the continuing importance of the poem "Howl" and the challenges and joy of designing the animation sequences for the film on Allen Ginsberg's seminal poem Howl and then creating a graphic novel based on those images and the poem itself.
