12:06Nature Films: Behind the Camera

Nature films can raise awareness about -- and frame our thinking towards -- the natural world and environmental issues. But capturing images that captivate presents filmmakers with major logistical challenges and ethical questions. We explore the world behind the camera, and hear about the new feature film "Arctic Tale".

Guests

Chris Palmer, Director, Center for Environmental Filmmaking, American University

Adam Ravetch, Co-director, "Arctic Tale"

Sarah Robertson, Co-director, "Arctic Tale"

13:06The Bonus Army and DC's Past

It's been seventy-five years since World War I veterans from across the country descended on Washington asking for compensation that was rightfully theirs. But they were met with tear gas, police sticks and an active U.S. Army determined to send them away. Join Kojo as we explore the impact of this movement and a local exhibit commemorating it.

Guests

Paul Dickson, co-author, "The Bonus Army" (Pub: Walker & Company); contributing editor at Washingtonian magazine and consulting editor at Merriam-Webster, Inc.

Thomas Allen, co-author, "The Bonus Army" (Pub: Walker & Company); longtime contributor to National Geographic Magazine.
