Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s an annual ritual for our region’s film buffs: racing from theater to theater to catch as much of Filmfest DC as possible. This year’s festival showcases both epic and deeply personal stories — films that will take viewers from the plains of Mongolia to the streets of Santiago. Join Kojo as we hear about some of the films and speak with two local filmmakers showing their work at this year’s event.
