Tune in Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 7PM (PST) as KXLU Los Angeles proudly presents Center Stage with Mark Gordon featuring special guests: Madeleine Sackler director of THE LOTTERY and Frederico Lapenda producer of SEQUESTRO (KIDNAPPING).
THE LOTTERY uncovers a ferocious debate surrounding the U.S. education reform movement, while examining charter schools as a solution to deal with the crisis now before even more children fall behind.
Award-winning filmmaker Jorge W. Atalla (In Cane for Life/A Vida em Cana) brings to the screen SEQUESTRO (KIDNAPPING), a powerful Brazilian documentary chronicling the heroic efforts of the Anti Kidnapping Division of the Sao Paulo police department from 2005 until 2009 - a time when kidnapping was booming business in Latin America's largest city.
