July 23, 2010In the 80s, before she directed Hollywood comedies like Half Baked and Billy Madison, Tamra Davis shot hours of footage of her friend Jean-Michel Basquiat. The young artist went on to international stardom before dying of a heroin overdose at age 27, and Davis went on to Hollywood. Our Got Docs? this week is "The Heretics" created by Joan Braderman of Women Make Movies. Braderman followed the now geographically dispersed New York feminist art collective from Venice, Italy to New Mexico, asking them what it was like to come together and challenge gender and power structures within the art world and how it shaped them as women and artists. Lastly, Danny Schechter comments on how small steps on economic recovery are not enough to remedy an economic meltdown.Danny Schechter: Small Steps on Economy Not Enough
