Filmmaker David Zeiger, director of "Sir! No Sir!" & co-director of "This Is Where We Take Our Stand" - a film of the Winter Soldier 2008 hearings - discusses the so-far unsuccessful fight to get this important film seen. Zeiger tells a maddening story of a film that tells the truth about the invasion & occupation of Iraq being dismissed because it's "too depressing."
Bobby Matos and John Santos, both significant figures in Latin Jazz, discuss the decision by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS) to eliminate 31 categories in the Grammy Awards -- almost all of them being music of oppressed people.
