Sam Morril has teamed up with Amy Schumer to deliver joke after joke in his first one-hour stand-up special. In "Amy Schumer Presents Sam Morril: Positive Influence," Morril points out why babies seem racist and argues that porn is more body positive than women’s magazines – and that’s just in the first 20 minutes. Whether he’s talking about his exes, crappy customer service or anti-Semitic bigots, no one is safe from his dark and curious mind.

John Lydon has not only redefined music, but also the true meaning of originality.

Set in 1980s Detroit at the height of the crack epidemic and the War on Drugs, "White Boy Rick" is based on the moving true story of a blue-collar father and his teenage son, Rick Wershe Jr., who became an undercover police informant and later a drug dealer, before he was abandoned by his handlers and sentenced to life in prison. Jonathan Majors, Bel Powley, Richie Merritt and director Yann Demange come to BUILD to discuss the film.

"Standing Our Ground: The Triumph of Faith Over Gun Violence" is Lucia Kay McBath McBath’s memoir of raising, loving and losing her son to gun violence, and the story of how she transformed her pain into activism. After seventeen-year-old Jordan Davis was shot by a man who thought the music playing on his car stereo was too loud, the nation grieved yet again for the unnecessary loss of life. Here, McBath goes beyond the timeline and the assailant’s defense—Stand Your Ground—to present an emotional account of her fervent fight for justice, and her awakening to a cause that will drive the rest of her days. But more than McBath’s story or that of her son, "Standing Our Ground" keenly observes the social and political evolution of America’s gun culture.
