In this episode, Matthew Groves interviews Carl Deal who along with his directing and producing partner, Tia Lessin, directed Citizen Koch, a study of the rise of money in politics and the strategy implemented by conservative billionaires, David and Charles Koch post-election of Barack Obama as well as the infamous Citizen's United Supreme Court case. The film examines their effect on mainstream American politics. In the spirit of others films at Sundance this year, Citizen Koch, will potentially spark a heated discussion but hopefully not merely be dismissed on the basis of personal politics. It is an essential film for those who hold American democracy dear, no matter one's views. Notes: Trouble The Water was the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary @ Sundance Film Festival 2008. @ 1:47 Carl Deal is referencing that the Koch Brothers conduct the secret retreats twice yearly for Conservative Donors.

In this episode, Matthew Groves interviews debut documentary directors, Martha Shane and Lana Wilson, about their film, After Tiller. The film follows the lives and work of four doctors who perform third trimester abortions in the wake of the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Rather than look at the political and philosophical debates, the film looks at the issue of abortion from humanistic level, showing how it works, the people behind and their reasons and motivations. No matter one's personal views, After Tiller is a direct, tender look that is bound to educate, complicate, and challenge the viewer to grapple with the complex humanistic layers to the issue. The film is out now and is a must see! Feel free to comment on here and give us a star rating and review on iTunes! Notes: Still provided by Yes and No Productions Please forgive some of the knocking sounds in the audio in places throughout the interview.

The film is out now and is a must see! Feel free to comment on here and give us a star rating and review on iTunes!

This 2011 Sundance award winner is striking portrait that cuts back and forth from North Carolina and Afghanistan and gives us a full frontal look at military service and it's aftermath in a way you rarely ever see and is a must-see. Feel free to comment on here and give us a star rating and review on iTunes! Notes: You can find a review of the film on www.TheAlternativeChronicle.com The audio is a little loud at points, but we are not having the issue we used to with Matthew being very loud and the guest being quiet.
