Crackdown

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

In the 1990s, then-mayor Rudy Giuliani instituted his zero-tolerance campaign in New York City. We look into how that crackdown continues to affect New Yorkers. Also: a new documentary about Mobile, Alabama's segregated Mardi Gras celebration. States of the Union is all about Connecticut. And on Underreported: how former Liberian girl soldiers are adapting to life after that country’s long war.

We're hosting another FREE Lopate Show film screening on Monday, August 4! We'll be watching the 1972 film "The Candidate." Seats are limited, so RSVP soon. Find out more.
