Vaya Con Muñoz 3.13.21
This week our regular panelists – Tanisha Arena, Kate Albright Hanna, Dan Torres, Matt Szafranski, and Nathaniel Waring – are joined by the legendary documentarian and member of the academy of motion picture arts, Larry Hott. We discuss Gumersindo Gomez’s selection to replace his son Adam Gozem who recently was elected to the state senate, and why the Springfield City council’s membership were less than happy to have to cast the vote; the extreme polization in the US House and Senate, and how ‘bipartisan’ can mean passing legistlation that is widely popular among the voters of both parties, even if no republicans in either chamber will vote for it; Larry Hott introduces to the documentary Boy’s State, and we discuss how the film shows us a world that paralells the work of fiction Lord of the Flies; We discuss ALL IN The Fight for Democracy, and how Stacy Abrams being a producer leaves some of us with questions about how much creative control she had over the film; We learn about a third documentary Time, in which a mother of twins records home videos surrounding her raising her children alone while her husband serves a 60 year jail term for bank robbery; and Kate expresses bemoans that the filmmakers who made Boy’s State beat her to an idea she had years ago to make a film inspired by her own experiences at a similar camp, Junior Statesmen of America.
