About this film

*Please Note: this file contains content that may be sensitive for some viewers.* On this episode of New Mexico in Focus, we discuss the Japanese Internment Camps. One of the producers of the animated TV show called “Molly of Denali,” grew up right here in New Mexico. Marijuana is being considered on two fronts with the public currently weighing in on proposed changes to the medical cannabis program. The governor has assigned a task force to explore a path to recreational marijuana. Legalization public hearings continue statewide next month. The Jeffrey Epstein saga continues, and as more local connections start to be revealed, the New Mexico Attorney General is taking a closer look. We start with the great chili war. Guests: Inez Russell Gomez (Santa Fe, New Mexico), Jeffrey Candelaria (Konnection Now), Michael Bird (Public Health Consultant), Mary T. Torres (Attorney), Nikki Nojima Louis (Japanese American Citizens League), Maya Salganek (Producer “Molly of Denali”), Hosts: Gene Grant, Megan Kamerick (Correspondent), and Antonia Gonzales (Correspondent).
