Climate Hearings and Pop Docs
Congressional hearings continue to investigate political interference by the Bush Administration on climate scientists. Rick Piltz, the Director of the non-profit group Climate Science Watch, joins Earthbeat host Mike Tidwell in discussing the hearings.
We'll also 'talk doc' and investigate the dramatic shift in documentary film. We speak to filmmaker Grace Guggenheim, of Guggenheim Productions (and the sister of the Academy-award winning director of the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth) joins Larry Engle of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at The American University and NYU film school professor George Stoney on how documentaries are now popular cinema.
And we focus on one documentary that's burning up the festival circuit - Black Gold. Co-Director and producer Nick Francis joins the senior policy advisor of Oxfam's US office, Gawain Kripke, on how you might want to change how you order that double-latte with foam.
