KUT airs out of Austin is airing it as part of their “best of public radio” series (and if you click that link, you’ll see they’re promoting us!).

WCAI is public radio for Cape Cod, and actually includes WNAN (91.1 FM) and WZAI (94.3 FM) as well. They are presenting the documentary as part of their four-hour showcase “Arts and Ideas“.


Multimedia…

We’ve put up a video/slideshow version of the documentary. You can watch Part 1 here on Youtube (in three parts) . While it’s not truly multi-media, as we did not take photos during the project, we hope it adds in a few visual elements that might enrich your experience of the documentary, like some photos of detention centers, screen shots of the various documents we talk about, and more.

Take a look/listen and let us know what you think: rate the slideshow on Youtube, or put up a comment… and share it far and wide!

So far only Part 1 has been made visual. Part 2 will hopefully be done soon.
