Since the Reagan-era 'War on Drugs,' which expanded Nixon-era policies, our nation has seen a dramatic increase in the prison population. Despite increasing evidence that large-scale incarceration is not an effective means of achieving public safety, our nation continues to "cage" men and women of color at disproportionate rates. The problem has now extended to the inhumane detainment of immigrants and refugees in and around the border. Episode 16 examines the issue of mass incarceration with expert Isaac Bryan.Isaac Bryan is a policy shaper and published scholar, whose work has helped to advance activist led movements and policy change around issues of racial, economic, and social justice.

Winner of a 2017 Pulitzer Prize, historian Heather Ann Thompson sheds new light on the infamous 1971 Attica Prison riot as one of the most important civil rights stories of the last century. Chronicling the horrific conditions that led to 1,300 prisoners taking over the upstate New York correctional facility and how the state violently retook the prison—killing thirty-nine men and severely wounding more than a hundred others—Blood in the Water also confronts the gruesome aftermath. From brutal retaliation against the prisoners, to corrupt investigations and cover-ups, and civil and criminal lawsuits, Thompson meticulously follows the ensuing forty-five-year fight for justice. In a conversation with Kelly Lytle Hernandez, a professor and director of the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA, Thompson discusses the impact of what this tragic historic moment can teach us about racial conflict, failures in mass incarceration, and police brutality in America today.

This podcast episode comes straight from the heart. Diversity in the film industry is a problem. The numbers do not lie.Original Source: Fusion.netOriginal Source: GirlTalkHQ.comThe film business needs to have many points of views and not just a select few. The more points of views you have, the better the industry as a how will be. Filmmakers can not use their gender or race as an excuse for "not making it". The diversity problem in Hollywood is SLOWLY getting better. Ava DuVernay, the director of Selma, has become the first African-American Female director to helm a major studio film with a $100 million dollar budget. (Source: Business Insider)Original Source: The Hollywood Reporter and The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American StudiesTheir are many examples of the industry changing. Robert Rodriguez, Guillermo del Toro, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ava DuVernay, Gale Anne Hurd, Kathryn Bigelow, Sofia Coppola, and many more have cracked the diversity wall. Original Source: FusionNow that being said, I'm not saying it has been easy for the filmmakers I've listed. It was DAMN HARD! Things are changing but very slowly. I've never allowed being latino stop me from creating my own opportunities. Indie Filmmakers have to create their own opportunities and stop waiting around for "Hollywood" to give it to them. I hope this episode inspires filmmakers to go out and make it happen...no matter what! Keep hustlin' my friends!
