The new movie After
Louie tells the story of an artist and activist from ACT UP who lived
through the early years of HIV/AIDS who is struggling with survivor’s guilt. A
relationship with a young man reawakens him while also provoking resentments
and delving into generational differences in the gay American experience. The
movie’s stars Alan Cumming and Zachary Booth, along with the director
and co-writer Vincent Gagliostro
join me in the studio today to talk about the film, activism and much more.
We know that Russians
have tampered with U.S. election information and that troll farms have targeted
the U.S. David M. Rubenstein Fellow of Foreign Policy at The Brookings
Institution, Alina Polyakova, argues
that technological advancements in artificial intelligence and cyber
capabilities will increase these threats. Opportunities for malicious actors to
undermine democracies more covertly and effectively than ever before are on the
rise just as we gear up for the midterm elections. She joins me on the show
today to talk about the treat to our critical infrastructure and more.
