In an address to the nation last night, President Obama announced executive action that could shield millions from deportation. As we consider the impact of the new measure we’ll take a look at how Australia has addressed immigration with Madeleine Sumption of the Migration Policy Institute. And, Producer Peter Fudakowski had made his directorial debut with the film “Secret Sharer,” a movie inspired by the Joseph Conrad story. Fudakowski and WBEZ’s film contributor Milos Stehlik join us to discuss the film. Then, Nari Safavi joins us to talk to Nandita Das about a film coming to Chicago.
