The Brave New Films office courtyard was filled with progressive Los Angelenos on a sunny afternoon last week to hear Jim Hightower speak about his new book, Swim Against the Current. Hightower was joined by his coauthor, Susan Demarco. After Robert Greenwald and journalist David Cay Johnston said a few words about Hightower, the author and popular radio commentator spoke about the people he had met while writing the book. He also gave his thoughts on progressive America and the presidential election, which guests were eager to hear.
We were overwhelmed by the response to this event. We nearly had more people than we could accommodate! Our guests really enjoyed Hightower’s talk and the added bonus of hearing from Johnston and Greenwald as well. All of us at BNF were glad to meet Hightower, in addition to our supporters and fellow progressives.
