Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
During the depths of the most recent recession, a local non-profit won a grant for an ambitious “green jobs” program aimed at training some of the District’s hardest-to-employ residents in urban forestry. The film “City of Trees” explores the challenges faced by both the trainees trying to turn their lives around, as well as the non-profit itself trying to maintain the program as the funds run out. The documentary is screening as part of the upcoming Environmental Film Festival in the nation’s capital.
Guests
- Brandon Kramer Partner, Executive Director, Meridian Hill Pictures
- Stephen Coleman Executive Director, Washington Parks & People
- Michael Samuels Former training, Washington Parks and People Green Corps
