Sonicsgate - Documentary Filmmakers: "It's not just a movie, it's a movement"

Update: 2016-04-11

Description

Jason Reid and Adam Brown met each other while fighting to keep the Sonics in Seattle. They formed a partnership to create the award winning documentary Sonicsgate. They're still making films on subjects as diverse as marijuana legalization, Mike Dukakis, K2, and rapper Nacho Picasso. And they are still fighting to bring back the Sonics. The episode looks at politics, culture, race and journalism as it intersects with the fan support for pro basketball. Jason and Adam bring their own special brand of activism to documentary film making.
