On the next Your Call’s Media Roundtable, 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.
Guests:
Elaine McMillion Sheldon, academy nominated documentary filmmaker and the director of Tutwiler
Ursula Liang, award-winning director and producer of Two Strikes
