2016: Obama's America / Searching for Sugarman

http://kunr-assets.trinityannex.com/audios/844_ROBIN_9-28-12.mp3

A journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?"Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to Americas ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world. And in Searching for Sugarman two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock 'n' roller, Rodriguez.  Using top notch editing, they travel through South Africa and America asking questions that lead to surprise answers.  Listen in for more on this week's film review with Robin Hollabird.
