"Citizen Koch" Filmmakers on Political and Media Funding
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 31, 2013
A recent New Yorker piece chronicles how funding for the new film "Citizen Koch" was halted because of pressure applied on PBS from philanthropist and conservative businessman David Koch. Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, whose last film, "Trouble the Water", was nominated for an Oscar, discuss their documentary investigation into conservative efforts to dismantle organized labor in Wisconsin -- and the controversy over the Koch-tied funding withheld from their project.
