What to Watch: Documentaries, Broadway and the ongoing writers strike

By Samantha Wright,

The Writers Guild of America is on strike, in its first work stoppage since 2007-2008. In that strike, writers demonstrated in front of the Fox studio in Los Angeles.

Believe it or not, Broadway depends a lot on television for its survival and the ongoing writer's strike in Hollywood almost derailed this week's Tony Awards. Plus, there are all kinds of new documentaries coming to a theater near you!

Morning Edition host and resident movie critic, George Prentice joined Idaho Matters to help break this down.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.

As host of Morning Edition, I'm the luckiest person I've ever known because I spend my days listening to smart, passionate, engaging people. It’s a public trust. I lean in to talk with actors, poets, writers and volunteers who make Idaho that much more special.
