Episode 76: " Scout's Honor" (Nigel Jaquiss)


Listen Later

In this week's episode of the Dive, Brianna and guest, Nigel Jaquiss discuss the film Leave No Trace (now streaming on Hulu) , produced by and featuring Jaquiss himself.  Leave No Trace examines the monstrous legacy of abuse that was allowed to fester within the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America, leading to their eventual bankruptcy amidst thousands of sexual abuse allegations.  We'll examine the critical link between the BSA  and Oregon that made it possible for generations of survivors to come forward as well as the highs and lows of producing a film about trauma. 

Brianna also shares what she learned from this week's issue of the Willamette Week, including Portland's aggressive new plans for sweeping homeless camps citywide, some startling gun violence statistics that cast a different light on our gun violence narrative, and how dystopic teens and their gel guns are fuel for disassociating with dumplings.
