Modern Transitions

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Guest host Daljit Dhaliwal fills in today for Leonard. We continue our election coverage on today's Underreported with a look at how literacy advocates and democracy trainers are encouraging civic participation in Afghanistan. Then, we learn about debt slaves in Pakistan. And director Ratan Thiyam tells us about his new production at BAM. Later on, we talk to an Inuit Shaman about the modern-day challenges facing his people. Plus, a travel writer retraces the journey his great-grandfather made as a missionary in the South Pacific.
