Haskell Wexler and Andy Davis were inspired by the the storytelling of Studs Terkel throughout their career-particularly when they worked together (and with Studs) on the iconic film Medium Cool in 1969. The two Chicago natives return to town for a special screening of the movie and to swap Studs stories of their own. It’s all part of the three day Studs fest, Let’s Get Working, taking place at various venues around town. (Photo: Flickr/Martin Beek)
