Eugene Jarecki is an award-winning director and filmmaker and he is also the creator of the Trump Death Clock. What's the Trump Death Clock, you ask? It's a real-time tally of the cost of human lives to coronavirus, aimed directly at Trump and his administration's reckless handling of the pandemic. Eugene believes that the American people need to demand more responsible leadership and this traveling clock draws direct attention to the consequences of Trump's inaction. In today's episode Eugene explains his initial motivation for the clock (hint: it's in Times Square in New York City), the history of presidential accountability, and what city the Trump Death Clock might end up in next.Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eugene Jarecki's Elvis Presley documentary "The King" argues that America in its Fat Elvis stage. He tells us why Chuck D of "mother--- him and John Wayne" fame was the film's key interview. We also talk about why Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, needs a movie - and so do The Prisonaires, the African-American musical group who sang from behind bars and influenced Presley.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley, two-time Sundance Grand Jury winner Eugene Jarecki’s new film takes the King’s 1963 Rolls-Royce on a musical road trip across America. From Memphis to New York, Las Vegas, and beyond, the journey traces the rise and fall of Elvis as a metaphor for the country he left behind. In this groundbreaking film, Jarecki paints a visionary portrait of the state of the American dream and a penetrating look at how the hell we got here. A diverse cast of Americans, both famous and not, join the journey, including Alec Baldwin, Rosanne Cash, Chuck D, Emmylou Harris, Ethan Hawke, Van Jones, Mike Myers, and Dan Rather, among many others. To investigate these questions, THE KING traces Elvis’ rise and fall from the Deep South to New York, Las Vegas, and countless points between. Alongside this, the film examines America in parallel, from her auspicious founding to her own struggles with excess power up to the acute challenges of today. This was always Jarecki’s intent, but he could never have anticipated the election of Donald Trump, which happened in mid-production and sent a shock wave through the filmmaking process.
