Oliver Stone has made over 30 films. He's told stories about Vietnam War, Greed on Wall Street,. figures like JFK, Nixon, Bush, Edward Snowden and Vladimir Putin. His latest project is a documentary called "Nuclear Energy," which looks at the future of nuclear energy in the U.S. The show needs your help by filling out a brief survey.
After a quick rundown of the summer’s hottest films, Nayeema and Kara turn to our guest today: acclaimed (and controversial) filmmaker Oliver Stone. The man behind classics like “Wall Street” and “JFK” has turned his lens to climate change solutions in a new documentary, “Nuclear Now.” We discuss the good question of why there isn’t more nuclear energy in the United States, the roots of Stone’s distrust in convention, and the challenge of a world where distrust can turn into conspiracy theory.
