Academy Award Winning Documentary Filmmaker...Racing Extinction..Also..A Report from Trump and Bernie Rallies
He's won an Academy Award for his documentary, THE COVE, and now Louis Psihoyos has a new film that is both breathtaking and powerful. RACING EXTINCTION is about the coming mass extinction unfolding across the planet, during which at least half the species on earth will vanish. The film deals with examples of the of the Anthropocene extinction, in other words, the effects of the unbridled appetites of human beings(literal and figurative) causing the greatest mass extinction since the KT event, 66 million years ago. And despite the bleak realities, the film is hopeful, exciting, beautifully photographed and empowering. The movie takes you undercover to Asia to witness the demand for endangered animal parts in exotic elixirs and culinary preparations and goes from there... Composer J Ralph, who scored this movie and the Academy Award winning documentary film, MAN ON WIRE (along with CHASING ICE and other high profile documentary projects of late) joins us also. But before the guests arrive Jimmy Dore reports to us from from the presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. There are no two campaigns with more momentum than Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders and Jimmy contrasts the two stump speeches and rallies.
