What book combines memories of a childhood in the Philippines, a re-rendering of the filming of Acopolypse Now, and a remarkable cast of characters? This new book by Fil-Am writer Jessica Hagedorn is the focus of an interview with Apex’s Rainjita Geelser. And as part of KPFA’s fund-raiser, Jessica’s book will be available with a donation to Apex/KPFA. Also as part of Filipino History month, we talk with members of Bindlestiff – the premiere Filipino American cultural artspace – and find out about the challenges they’re facing. Plus music, calendar and more! Also, we want to hear your comments, questions–contact Apex at : 510/848-6767×464 or [email protected]
