0:08 – Fund Drive Special: The Corporate Coup d’Etat
A democracy should protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable among them, but increasingly the United States is failing to do so. The Corporate Coup d’Etat is an investigative and persuasive documentary blends the insights of philosophers, authors and journalists with the experiences of citizens of the Rust Belt in the U.S. Midwest, where the steel industry once flourished, but where closures and outsourcing have left urban areas desolate and hopeless – and supporting for Donald Trump. Featuring: Journalist Chris Hedges & Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul. Yours for a pledge of $100 to KPFA.
1:08 – Fund Drive Special: All Governments Lie
All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone describes how independent journalist I. F. Stone (1907–1989) pioneered the practice of investigative journalism, digging into public records and back-page stories to track down information. We see the challenges these reporters face as they try to go beneath the surface. The Canadian documentary film features Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, Michael Moore and many others.
