Join us this week for the Netflix documentary “Long Shot,” a tightly told and engaging production that illuminates the power of perseverance and dedication. It is the story of Juan Catalan, a man wrongly accused and jailed for a murder he did not commit. His only alibi is taking his daughter to a Dodger’s game at the time the crime was committed. The docs quickly review research on eye witness testimony when talking about the weakness of the defense's case.

180. Murderous Mob Mentality

This week, the docs delve into the sequence of events that precipitated the tragic and disastrous "Zoot Suit" riots in Los Angeles. Despite the Zoot Suit riots receiving far less attention than deserved in the annals of the civil rights struggle in the United States, they represent a pivotal moment in both Los Angeles and national history. The docs investigate how the media exacerbated tensions by demonizing the Latino community, while also shedding light on the pervasive racism and marginalization perpetuated by industry and law enforcement through opinion pieces.Harvard Implicit Bias TestBerkshire Podcast FestivalYou can find all of our resources on our website: https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/ L.A.
