Eleanor Goldfield is the director of a new documentary on the struggle of people in West Virginia – Hard Road of Hope. She also co-hosts the Common Censored podcast with Lee. They discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, the abuse of journalists by US police, the abolition of the police, her documentary, and more.
Naomi Karavani reports on the militartization of the police and the impacts it has had on the communities the police regularly abuse. This issue is of growing concern after weeks of footage of police brutalizing peaceful protesters. Anders Lee finishes off the show with a report on Trump's desire to enact the 1807 Insurrection Act to wage war against protesters.
