This special gathering features two main projects about reckoning and repair that have been developed at GBH : the WORLD's new film, The Cost of Inheritance: An America ReFramed Special and the upcoming GBH News-produced podcast, "What Is Owed?".

Directed by the acclaimed Yoruba Richen, the World's one hour-long documentary delves into the intricate topic of reparations in the United States. It navigates through history's complexities, systemic inequalities and the burgeoning conversation on racial conciliation. With its blend of personal stories, communal reflections, and academic perspectives, the film not only enlightens but also sparks a deeper understanding of the reparations debate. In this video, director Yoruba Richen and subjects from the film, Randy Quarterman and Sarah Eisner, engage in a thought-provoking panel discussion. This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into the creative process and the crucial themes explored in the documentary.

Viewers also get an exclusive sneak peek (or listen) of the upcoming GBH News-produced podcast, "What is Owed?" This seven-part podcast, reported by GBH News political reporter Saraya Wintersmith, ventures into the heart of Boston's reckoning with its history of slavery and economic exclusion. Wintersmith seeks to understand what reparations might look like in one of the oldest cities in America, uncovering the lessons for a successful reparations framework through the stories of its architects, past and present.

Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio joins The Culture Show host Jared Bowen to talk about the influence of music in her life. Also, arts and culture journalist Joyce Kulhawik discusses the full list of Oscar nominees, and the British consul general to New England joins for a Robert Burns explainer.

Under the Radar sits down with the director and a student featured in "Brief Tender Light," a new film about four African students navigating their studies at the world's premier engineering school.

The new film "The Book of Clarence" tells a familiar story: A man is down on his luck and gets an idea for how to turn things around. What's different about this one is it takes place in Jerusalem during the biblical rise of Jesus Christ.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is pleased to present a preview screening and discussion of our upcoming film,  Nazi Town, USA. The event will feature an extended clip from the film and a panel discussion with film participants.

Featured guests include:

Peter Yost: Writer, producer and director of Nazi Town, USA.

Edna Alburquerque: Producer of Nazi Town, USA.

Beverly Gage: Professor of history at Yale University and the author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century, winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.

The discussion will be moderated by Cameo George, executive producer of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.

About the film: In February 1939, more than 20,000 Americans filled Madison Square Garden for an event billed as a “Pro-American Rally.” Images of George Washington hung next to swastikas and speakers railed against the “Jewish controlled media” and called for a return to a racially “pure” America. The keynote speaker was Fritz Kuhn, head of the German American Bund. NAZI TOWN, USA tells the largely unknown story of the Bund, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented what many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States. The Bund held joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran dozens of summer camps for children centered around Nazi ideology and imagery, melding the images of Americana with a virulent anti-semitic ideology.

From filmmakers Peter Yost and Edna Alburquerque and executive produced by Cameo George, NAZI TOWN, USA raises thorny issues — from questions of free speech to declarations of “America First” — that we continue to wrestle with today

Nazi Town, USA premieres on Tuesday, January 23rd at 9/8c on PBS.
