The movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" ends with the Osage Murders of the 1920's but the movie doesn't tell the entire tragic tale of the Osage Tribe. Our guest Greg Palast has a upcoming documentary that tells the rest of the 100 year history after the brutal murders!

Inspired by her experiences as a single working mother living in a marginalized community, Tanya Denise Fields founded the Black Feminist Project (formerly the BLK Projek) in 2009 as a response to sexist institutional policies, structurally reinforced cycles of poverty, and harsh inequities in wealth and access to capital that result in far too many women being unable to rise out of poverty and sustain their families. She also created an urban farm in the heart of the Bronx.

During the early days of the race to the moon, American cinema was filled with visions of a bright future of flying cars and a less reliance on fossil fuels. Electric everything, and robot servants. After the moon landing why has the depiction of the future been one of corporatocracy?
From Blade Runner, to Terminator, the rise of machines and machine learning is no longer the future of leisure and entertainment but one of nightmares. Our guest Micheal Harris has a new book out that tells us how science fiction isn’t simply predicting the future, but using the idea of the future to warn us about our now.
Get Dr. Harris' Book here: https://a.co/d/gLWafTq
