FEATURING:

Bob Sallinger, conservation director of the Audobon Society of Portland, discussing the Portland Harbor Superfund Site.  This highly polluted eleven-mile stretch of the Willamette River between the Columbia Slough and the Broadway Bridge saw the buildup of so much industrial waste over the past century that the Environmental Protection Agency put it on its Superfund priority list for cleanup in 2000.  After a lengthy process drawn out over sixteen years, the EPA is finally preparing to release a proposed cleanup plan - to be followed by sixty days for public comment - and in the meantime, multiple public informational sessions are scheduled around Portland throughout February and March.

AND:

Filmmaker Kelly Kend, discussing her latest documentary feature, Yeah Maybe, No.  The film considers what it means to truly consent to sexual activities, and looks critically at preconceived notions about sexual assault through stories of survival.  Following a student at Portland's Reed College and reflecting upon the filmmaker's own survival story, the film coincides with student activism on college campuses across the US, including Reed, that is bringing about what the student calls a "consent revolution" in the face of endemic levels of sexual violence on campus.

AND:

A 1970 interview of Angela Davis, famous Black Panther and political revolutionary, from a CA prison - interviewed by Barry Callaghan
