On today's Your Call, we’ll speak with Darryl Cherney about his film Who Bombed Judi Bari? In 1990, their car was bombed. Oakland police and the FBI accused Bari and Cherney of carrying the bomb to use in a terrorist act. We’ll talk about the case, Earth First activists, and what environmentalists face today. The FBI calls environmental activists ‘eco-terrorists.’ How are activists responding to ongoing crackdowns? It’s Your Call with Holly Kernan, and you.
