Against a military dictatorship. Against US propaganda. Against all odds. On this episode, the LMC speaks with freelance journalist Michael Fox to discuss the amazing story of Radio Venceremos and how it became a beacon of independent journalism during El Salvador’s civil war in the 80s.
Michael Fox is also the host and producer of the podcast docuseries “Brazil on Fire” and “Under the Shadow.”
On a special episode of the LMC, Magdalena Albizu & Eddie Bailey, the producers of the documentary Negrita, discuss how their new film explores the challenges of cultural prejudice and presumptions surrounding the lives of Afro-Latinas in the US.
As protests on college campuses by students in solidarity with Gaza continue nationwide, the LMC spends the hour with freelance writer Arturo Dominguez about the hypocrisy of Texas governor Greg Abbott’s authoritarian response to demonstrators in the Lone Star state.
