Scott Hechinger and Robert Greenwald: Battling the Status Quo
Alec Baldwin speaks with two individuals using media to inspire, inform \u2013 and transform \u2013\xa0 civic engagement in America. \xa0Civil rights attorney Scott Hechinger is the founder and executive director of Zealous, an organization harnessing the power of storytelling for social justice. Hechinger believes that inaccurate narratives on crime and policing help shape perception and policy - and he\u2019s seeking to change that. With Zealous, Hechinger works with public defenders and advocates on campaigns that aim to change a broken criminal justice system and push for true public health and safety. Robert Greenwald is the founder of Brave New Films, a non-profit whose goal is to educate and mobilize the public on social issues like voter suppression, immigration and war profiteering. Greenwald is an Emmy- and Peabody-winning director of television and film, including \u201cXanadu\u201d and \u201cThe Burning Bed,\u201d but pivoted to documentary and put his talents to work for political action.
