Tracking Your Health, A History of Anti-Fascist Movements, 'Cracked Up'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 5, 2018

Journalist Marshall Allen joins us to discuss his recent piece for ProPublica, “You Snooze, You Lose: Insurers Make The Old Adage Literally True,” which looks at how medical devices are tracking and sharing your medical information with insurance companies.

 

Gord Hill, (at 20:45) an Indigenous writer artist, and activist from the Kwakwaka’wakw nation, and Mark Bray, a historian and lecturer at Dartmouth, join us to discuss Hill’s book, The Antifa Comic Book: 100 Years of Fascism and Antifa Movements, which offers an illustrated historical perspective on anti-fascist movements around the world.

 

Director Michelle Esrick and Darrell Hammond (at 34:25) join us to discuss the new film, "Cracked Up." In this film, we witness the impact that childhood trauma can have through the story of award-winning actor, comedian, and “Saturday Night Live” star, Darrell Hammond. If you’re a survivor of childhood trauma looking for help, resources are available on the film's website.
