In Vaya Con Muñoz

We start off with the Northampton commemoration of Martyrs’s Day, held every April 24 to remember the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians. We hear from the event’s organizer, Gina Ayvazian, we hear the Armenian national anthem sung by Mr. Popken, and a moving story from Michael Garjian about his aunt Mabel.
Also, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Larry Hott on independent filmmaking in the Age of Trump.
Film critic Ariadna Goenaga on “Hell or High Water,” directed by David Mackenzie and screenplay by Taylor Sheridon. Trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQoqsKoJVDw.
José Feliciano sings us out with “Qué será.” Not the Doris Day hit, but a different song about yearning for better days for one’s homeland.
