339: Kiss The Future with Bill Carter

Host Reed Galen is joined by Author, Filmmaker and Activist, Bill Carter where they discuss the soon-to-be released documentary, Kiss the Future. The film explores the perils of nationalism and art’s role as a weapon of resistance and activism through the lens of the 1990s Siege of Sarajevo and how American aid worker Bill Carter forged an unlikely relationship with the band U2 to raise global awareness to the conflict. Plus, the parallels between the climate surrounding the Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s and the climate of nationalism the world is experiencing today. Kiss the Future will soon be streaming on Paramount Plus…for more details on the film and Bill Carter’s book that inspired the film (“Fools Rush In”), check out BillCarter.cc.
