Issa López has had a long and varied career as a creative, first as an award-winning fiction writer, then as a TV writer for "Plaza Sésamo" (Latin America’s "Sesame Street") and, later, telenovelas. Eventually she began writing and directing feature films. Her latest movie, “Tigers Are Not Afraid,” is a dark fairytale about a group of children, orphaned and living on the streets amidst drug-related violence in their Mexican town. López talks about the limits of genre, her personal connection to the film, and the reactions of different audiences around the world.

The Present-Day resonance of 'Chernobyl'

(Starts at :45)

The recent nuclear mishap in Russia has officials there using some of the same rhetoric as when a Soviet nuclear reactor melted down in 1986. So we are revisiting our interview with Craig Mazin, creator of the five-part HBO miniseries, "Chernobyl." Mazin says the series is a warning about the human tendency we have to believe narrative over what's true. He talks with John Horn about how he stumbled upon untold pieces to this story that led him to make the show. ("Chernobyl" has 19 Emmy nominations, including for Best Limited Series.)
