Graphic Policy Radio With Guest Kristy Guevara-Flanagan
This week's episode of Graphic Policy Radio comes at a special time as we welcome special guest Kristy Guevara-Flanagan to talk about Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines.
The documentary traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, Wonder Women! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.
Kristy’s first feature-length film was an acclaimed documentary covering four years in the lives of four adolescent girls. Going on 13 was an official selection of Tribeca, Silverdocs, and many other international film festivals. It received funding from ITVS and was broadcast on public television in 2009. Kristy has also produced and directed several short films, including El Corrido De Cecilia Rios, a chronicle of the violent death of 15-year-old Cecilia Rios. It was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. Now an assistant professor at Diablo Valley College, Kristy has a MFA in Film Production from San Francisco State University.
The documentary recently had its television broadcast premiere in the United States on PBS's Independet Lens series.
Through June 14, 2013, you can see the complete film streaming on the PBS website.

Israel, the Middle East, & Foreign Policy
Larry Greenfield, Senior fellow of the American Freedom Alliance and fellow at the Claremont Institute has a lot to say about President Obama's visit to Israel, the Middle East going forward, and US foreign policy. Be sure to tune in!
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately? There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It’s just a matter of perspective. Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting. But the conversation is always respectful and you’re sure to learn something new, even if you don’t agree! If you’ve always wondered how the “other side” thinks and how they’ve arrived at their “stand”, then this is the show for you!
It’s not the right side, it’s not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!
