Even though the pandemic has closed theaters in Davis for most of 2020, we’re still presenting our annual movie show with Davis film critic Derrick Bang—even if only to learn what has survived the dislocations of the year. Derrick writes reviews for the Davis Enterprise and his blog, Derrick Bang on Film. We talk about how the pandemic has affected movie-making and his job as a critic, the films still coming out at what would normally be a big time of the year and films he’s looking forward to.

Alex Silva-Sadder hosts Lorraine Visher, Board President of the Davis School Arts Foundation.

So, what’s your opinion of the Eagles? The band, not the team. How about Emmylou Harris, the unusual pedal steel of the Flying Burrito Brothers, or the pop twang of the Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon”?

Lin Weaver interviews Faustin Rusanganwa, the author of the book ”My Exile to the World”. The book is about his escape from his native Rwanda as a teenager. Incredibly, Faustin traveled by bike across Burundi, Tanzania, Congo, Morocco, and Algeria. His travels then took to him across Europe, and the United States. He now lives in Davis where he keeps in his garage - the original bike he rode across Africa!
