Veterans & Performance Therapy, El Chapo Trial Update

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 8, 2018

Actor Jeffrey Wright joins us to discuss "We Are Not Done Yet," a short film that premieres on HBO on November 8. He is joined by April Harris, a veteran who spent 26 years in the U.S. Army and is the founder of the performance therapy group, Life in Victory.

REBROADCAST: Playwright and performer Daniel Alexander Jones joins us (at 18:40) to discuss his new performance, “Black Light,” now playing at The Greenwich House Theater. Drawing influence from Prince, Sade, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, as well as the Black American Freedom movement, and Afromysticism, Jones embodies Jomama Jones, his alter-ego. This limited engagement runs through December 31.

Every generation gets its celebrity mega-trial, and this one is in Brooklyn, for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, the infamous cartel leader. Now his trial is underway, and the prosecution, defense, and jury selection has become an international story. Keegan Hamilton, a writer and producer at Vice News, and host of the Vice News podcast “Chapo: Kingpin on Trial,” gives us an update (at 40:45) on how the trial is progressing.
