We have a packed show for today’s Your Call Media Roundtable, where I’ll be guest hosting. First, we’ll cover the breaking news of California senator Diane Feinstein’s death last night. We’ll be joined by Arthur Delany, HuffPost reporter who covers politics and the economy on Capitol Hill. Delany will also discuss the real impact of a government shutdown on millions of families.
Then we’ll discuss two documentaries from The Marshall Project and Frontline about the criminal justice system in the US.
Two Strikes examines how a former West Point cadet got life in prison under the little-known two-strikes law, and Tutwiler documents what happens to pregnant women in prison and their newborns.
Joining us will be:
- Elaine McMillion, documentary filmmaker and the director of Tutwiler
- Ursula Liang, award-winning director and producer of Two Strikes

I’ll be guest hosting today’s Your Call’s Media Roundtable, when we’ll discuss the vicious power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. This escalation of violence has created a humanitarian crisis of immense proportion, turning the Khartoum into a war zone. Hundreds have died and tens of thousands are fleeing to neighboring countries. What is next for Sudan?
Joining us will be Mat Nashed, journalist and analyst specializing in the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on Sudan.
Then later in the program we’ll cover America and the Taliban, a new Frontline series that traces America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan.
Drawing on decades of on-the-ground reporting and interviews with Taliban and U.S. officials, this epic three-part investigation traces how America’s 20-year investment in Afghanistan culminated in Taliban victory and examines the missteps and consequences.
Joining us will be:
- Marcela Gaviria, award winning journalist and filmmaker with Rain Media
- Martin Smith, award winning senior producer and foreign correspondent for FRONTLINE
