016 Crisis Cycling: Meaningful Movies in Ridgefield Panel with Cindy Black and Craig Brown

I spoke with Cindy Black, Executive Director of Fix Democracy First and Craig Brown, Editor at The Columbian newspaper after we screened the film, 'Digital Disconnect,' Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019.

The film by the rabble rousing intellectual Robert McChesny is a dissection of the way corporate consolidation under capitalism is crushing American democracy, causing division, and generally f'ing us all over. 

Some links to stuff we talked about:
