Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The new feature film “Sin Nombre” (Spanish for “unnamed”), provides a unique window on transnational immigration. The film follows two young people bound for the U.S. as they stow away on top of a hazardous freight train. Filmmaker Cary Joji Fukunaga joins us to discuss his feature-length debut, and his research, which took him from prisons to shelters to the tops of moving trains.
