we go wrong. did you want the us to take and who stopped you? we listen, see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sera. ah. hi, emmy. ok, welcome to the stream bonus edition. think of it like a v. i p off the party with a gift basket full of exclusive behind the scenes conversations with. guess i like to spoil you. it's the weekend coming up. courage from a national geographic explorer who flies a power glider to document the impacts of math food production from the air and cardoso from a film for reporting on the devastating impact of drug cartels in mexico. at 1st, the case of slavery,

reparations. what is owed to the ancestors of enslaved africans from former colonizers, the stream brought together activities and the caribbean, the u. s. and the u. k. were campaigning for reparations. when we got to our post show discussion, they wanted to make it very clear that the legacy of chapel slavery is a contemporary issue that has to be addressed. i think i do cation has a lot to do with it, but also the pressure, the no pressure has a lot to do with it. also, just since the murders of george floyd and be out of challenge robbery and all of the other incidences of police killings in this country, it is really our mobilized people to see buffer ration. there's really a legitimate remedy for some of these things. century care which again did not just begin today. there's a direct connection to the flame and error with respect to the police abuse that we see today. that's a direct connection with the educational system that is going on today and the lack

of education during the labor era. the health deficits, the black white wealth gap in the issue in the issues. just go on and are the areas a base of the list which expect to connecting the dots between what happened yesterday and what is going on is still happening today, slavery bottom, being an artifact past history library and it's remnant have a very, very tangible place. right? here now in the american economy, we have is lay labor, the bill ports in vero lines. and all of these institutions that are still remaining traffic generating but there has been no no compensation for those who built all of those with unpaid labor. and again, the connections are in this really, can you give us some insight into behind the scenes that behind the scenes negotiations with former colonizers who to me seem like they have all the cards,

they have the power, they have the money, they want to move on they don't want to look back. how do you negotiate? well, well, 1st of all, the camera compilation commission has written just 60, okay. and country spain, britain. nevertheless, then mark or to go front. no, none of them wrote back with a positive respond. we also bring up the issue at the united nation states, i reminded each time they come before the 3rd of their responsibility. so we are working on all fronts to try to get steeds to on up to and up. and i think we're seeing a little bit of movement in, in some of them. and i believe that is not hopeless,

but we must not this, this on those warm making amends. for example, the institutions, universities, an individual. there are several individuals in the united kingdom who have decided that i am looked into my path. it's not a great one. it is mix up in slavery there right now, and gauging community reparation in jamaica. so when people say will never happen, we have to look at the different forms of reformation and look at what is going on at the grassroots level, individual families in the u. k. banks and institution. but i agree, the states must or no, please wrong. and p reparation. we have a strategy in the kind of been you heard about it already. apology repass ration, not just of people or stolen from the homeland what we want back or document we want to call and treasure. remember this is personal to me. i have trade,

my car, people in, cameroon. how did they get over to jamaica? there was no clue. no 2 is in no way. yeah, it was boland, william voluntarily knew that, talking them on pallets and stuff. let me just bring it, bring in the he just, just for a final. so here what i'm hearing is a reparations movement. one in the u. s. one in the caribbean. you're in the u. k. do we have a global reparations movement? yeah. in my view, no, i would say we have an international nice man, why i'm saying we don't have a global movement as yet is because we don't have that global coordination. so even though i'm based in the u. k. one thing i should tell you about the movement in the u. k, it's not a black british movement. the reparations movement in the u. k. has always been

upon african lisman because we have 2 small numerically to just say reparation just about us. because it's upon african movement, it has the most potentially my view to actually inspire that global movement because we are not bounded by the shows of the british isles. the british empire was global. and we are connected with people who are colonized, who are not african people colonized from asia, people call it died from the abbey, a yellow in the americas all over the world when we find the common cause. and that is, i think, the beauty of the movement in britain and we are working with y allies who are giving the british government hell, anti repeat government, and governments around the world, such as extinction, rebellion, who engage in forms of non violent direct action. many of us have been in re inspired because this has been part of our story, a civil disobedience and we know that unless we engage in civil disobedience,

we are not going to get movement. so we are also calling all the all policy parliamentary commission of inquiry for truth and report to justice, which also looks at the homes, the not just been done to us as people but the homes. but i've been down to our environment of very much that is actually, you know, imperative life for all of us on the planet because of this repair, this racial capitalism. because of the extract of ism that calls now many of those nations, but experience displacement and colonization, all the ones are feeling the climate and the ecological i smith most at risk. the hurricanes with being in the caribbean and other parts of the globe, but can literally temperatures rise. we know some of those islands will disappear. so this is what we're talking about. that so me what will make this movement global when we're able to be can away, but we can bring the majority of humanity with us. and in the u. k,

we are doing that. the powerful voices of f, the stanford cos i. e. nikita tiny for every shepherd. now, i know that you love news because you're watching right here on out 0. well, some of the best correspondence come to work. one of our favorite type of shows on the stream is when we asked journalists to take us behind the scenes of their reporting out there, correspondent john home and spent a month traveling some of the most dangerous parts of mexico, where a drug cartel war is taking place between criminal groups, which land peace and government forces, and this is all going on. while a terrified civilian population is caught in the middle. don't film living in mexico's kill zone. can be seen on youtube, where there's a comment from the shell rodriguez that jumped out of me. these reporters are brave, and to top it off the questions while dude had a big gun. michelle, i'm so with you. i was also struck by how john was asking,

probing questions and scary situations and not getting in trouble. here's what he told me about his interviewing style. it's something that i tried to learn over time is that you can ask the hardest question, but if your voice is sole and your body language isn't aggressive, then automatically the words in some ways is not the least simple thing. but if you get away with a lot with a soft voice, and especially when there's a lot of men with big guns around doing that, you speak pretty softness. and that comes across the film that we try and off the hall. and we don't get show, i want to bring in the voice of catherine whitaker who's working with populations in metro account and trying to work out how people are looking off themselves, taking care of themselves. he, she is. i'm really interested in your brief response of the back of it, john, i'm civilian groups have attract

a lot of international attention. but there are more sustainable ways in which said civil society in which i can, has responded to violence in the state. for example, local citizen security council provides a way of rebuilding trust in the police. in each i can over 90 percent of the population. don't trust the police and institutions. so local, the citizens, security councils provide away for citizens to regularly meet and monitor the police. in a formalized setting, and in this way, security is being enhanced by rebuilding trust in the police. i think that was yes and no, no, because we actually went out with the self defense group. nothing is. will catherine's talking about towns that got given to the counsel and set out their own

self defense groups. now a lot of those have become compromises. what experts tell us, and we were the biggest one tonight at the austin, you, him, you will soon, the trucks. and so yeah, we're moving drugs, we're getting a gun from the united states, but we also protect the population. so the population in his town and triple cut, the pay a lot of them would agree, you know, they do the same, but they also take care of us. and some of those groups as well. now have to add to it completely. if you want to put one that clean, you know, the civilians who are in a self defense group, but it's also been very well documented over time in which we can a lot of those groups have been inspected by the same sort of traits as the groups as they were fighting again, so i don't think it's straightforward solution. there are also other towns, not sorry because you awesome. be great, very quickly. to other times in that state. yeah. that seem to have been able to

make it work by leaving the whole political upper off just one side. there's one quite famous one which we didn't get to mention the documentary mainly indigenous time. i have visited that they basically ordered the politicians out and decided to go it alone with their counsel. and catherine might be talking about that as well. and that's one of the times where it seems relative. they have been attacked, but it's basically a model, but they decided to go without the government without the state to be homeless. that i'm going to wrap up with some pictures of behind the scenes of you reporting during your most recent film and ask you, what are you planning to do next? i think you find me think this was the camera man who is basically a block of ice way through to get by anything. so that's making on how big one of

the 3 food produced, the work commission and absolute rockstar in the producing world as well. we others some crappy thing, a bit of the crude that in terms of what i'm going to do next up with doing that, them to make sure i had to take a little bit of a rest of them come with stress. but i'm thinking i have to go back because that town i believe it's still under threat, they're still in a terrible situation. other things are happening that low level will, between those different groups comes it carries on at least the new generation come to continue their thoughts to the state. so i don't think we can just stop and say, well thanks a lot. we put our commentary. bye bye. we're going to have to keep going back to those people and telling that story. so we'll see how that would tell john home and asking the hard stuff without getting shot. thanks, john. his latest film, the full report, living a mexico's kill zone, can be seen online now at al serra dot com. finally,

and it's got light conversation with a veteran photo journal. it's george steinmetz, he's a national geographic explorer. he works for the new york times. at 63 years old, has no intention of retiring. we talked about his long running nat geo assignment, feed the planet, and how he sees the world as a visual storyteller and an artist through his camera. a great picture, it's something that surprises you that informs you, that to me, it shows you the world or something in a way that you didn't know you didn't understand it before it. it communicates something interesting and exciting. you're working on a project right now. of course, the, the planet would you tell us about that and how that assignment started and how long it began on the plan started about 8 years ago when national geographic, national geographic asked me to photograph the story about the global food supply.

there were some projections that by the year 2050, we're going to have to double the world's food supply. and agriculture already occupies about 40 percent of the, of the land mass in the world. and so how are we going to double the world's food supply without basically wiping out all the natural areas we have left in the planet? and so, and i'm a specialist in aerial photography. i do other things, but that's what i'm best known for. and they thought that my perspective could give it a fresh view of that issue and problem and give you idea of the scale of agriculture on the planet. did you walk on? see the county did it change your attitude towards food as a culture their environment? definitely, i mean that's why i did it. it was, it is a one off assignment. i worked for them for 30 some years and, and i said we're going to say, well, this is a much bigger story. they can be told in a year. i don't want you to think like

a year where pronouncing you have to do anything, but our culture is just so huge. i realized that it was, there was a larger story need to be told and i thought there was a huge misunderstanding. i mean, in the united states now only one half percent of the populations about their culture. and so like my kids, they think the food comes from supermarket and it's like no, it doesn't come through market. and so, and i think food, it's not like, i'm not a farmer, i'm not kind of food geek. i just think that we need to understand where food comes from. so we can make more informed decisions because food is the production of food is it's, it's a huge environmental issue. i mean, it's one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases, and they said it used about 40 percent of the world's landmass. i mean, most of you quite cross united states almost all the farmland and there are a whole lot of buffalo left and we trans humanity is transformed a land and it's for us for what we're eating and our choices are have significant impact. sometimes i'm just say ordinary people,

people who aren't in the farming business, i don't understand the farming and many possible farming anymore. it's more like an industrialized production. what did you see that supply history? what did you see that you feel that people know about? well, i mean, you know, one of my 1st we're really got me front of my 1st. my 1st field piece i feel work on this project was it was when i went to kansas for after the harvest. and while i was there, i got thrown in jail my 1st week. i was working a san for national geographic and i got thrown in jail for flying over a feedlot and taking area photos. and i had no ill intent. i wasn't like they thought i was like working for some animal rights organization. no, i was just, i thought it was interesting to see the patterns of the cows and the land and how they were doing what they were doing. and it became very clear to me when i was arrested and put in jail that there are, there are parts of our food system that some focus just don't want to see. and as

a journalist, you know, somebody ask you a question and if you have somebody question, go clammed up like, well, there's your story. i mean, you're on to something, you know. and so i realize, well, this needs a little more investigation. what are these people trying to hide? i was just curious guy and they were throw me in jail for trying to show what they were doing in the no malicious intent. and so i just think that it needs to be more transparency so that we buy something, we know how it was made and what the environmental consequences of that are. i'm, i'm thinking about your aerial photography which are well known for you take off site golf as well. and there is a real trend right now we drove photography, so when i 1st came caution work, i just jody either dro next. but you're not using dr. value, i do use drugs actually i'm kind of a propeller had these days, but i didn't start up that way. i started out working it was hill cockers, and plains. and then i wanted to do about 20 years ago. i've every interested for

having deserts. and i wanted to do a story on mr. hara and there were no planes to hire out there. so i had to bring my own and i learned how to fly a motorized paraglider and hold on. let me show you. i've got a model one here. this is a model that a kid made for me in the year, but what i fly it's, well, it's like it's a motorized paragraph. so you have like a motor in your back. it's like a big a big leap lower and you run to take off and land and the wing. it's a, this is, you know, this thing is meant bailing wire. but generally you for the way up until you know it cops up into like a duffel bag and the motor presented to hold back to so it's you've been on the back seat of it in the back seat of a car and then it takes a little assembly, but anyway i was fly me and you can see like, you know, cockpit or no wheeled and so you have is incredible, you know, 180 view of the world. and so i started doing that and that was actually what got the geographic and that had me photograph eric culture was a sub thought that i could see farming and to do in a new way. and,

and that's actually what actually got me on a jail. i was flying with one of those over the feedlot, and they didn't shoot me down, but they had me rescued when i landed. i'm going to turn my come around so we can look at some fuel. donnie pictures. you can tell us how you got that camera else. i'm going to stick out right now. is low tech george. ok. but i could just let me just do this. so i guess much picture as possible. all right. where's this? that's in scott city, kansas. and that was actually my 1st week work in this project, and i was, it's like a few years after i got released from the garden city jail. and that was taken with the paraglider that was actually pretty hairy, flying if most people, when they look at all, it's a pretty photo. i look at it, i'd say, wow, that's a lot of when it take that i was heading down wind and i had my hands off the

controls because i, i take pictures of 2 hands. and so that was, that was kind of that was heavy flying. but i got the picture, but if you know the motor failed, i would have landed in that in that we double and i would have been okay. i just would have been a bit of a would have been a little ugly. what are you wearing when you're flying? i always wear the pants. that's why i'm still, you know, good walking condition and i have a helmet and a little radio, a radio helmet and, and level flight suit to kind of, you know, to keep me warm and everything together falls out of my pocket. and this is this next because taken in china is the new non china. it's the and the world's largest rice patties least alerts, world's largest vertical price, pays the rice paddies. they're about 3000 feet of vertical terraces. when you go up to people, do you, how do you approach it? do you ask them if you can take the pictures? do you have any help with you? how?

how do you monday, stop pop? the sociable been yeah it's, i mean for example, here in the right path. for a lot of the pictures i was up in a ridge, i didn't know where they're going to be farming each stick. if there was planting season and you didn't know where they were going to go, they came from it from these all these different villages. and so what i would do is i would go up on the ridge and i would get my binoculars out and say, oh they're, they're about a 1000 feet down and 2 miles over. but i would sit my drones, almost like a hawk. and i would go out and with the drones, they're really good. they could come in about 6 feet away. this is taken from the ground, but you could fly almost as close to people with the drones. and it's just kind of weird for them because these people are peasant farmers. and here's this, you know, drone comes in in seminary drug before and, and this is taken with the drum. and so you could get close, but it's a little bit how shall i say it's not very social. and for i, after spending a few days doing that and looking all over, i decided to go to the village and walk down with the ladies and the sunrise. and

be with them when they were farming, cuz i wanted to photograph the mud and the sway and be with them in the field. so it's a mixture i like i'm telling story from the years you the scope of things. but when you get close, you can, you can see the humanity you can see, but it feels like this is really good question. sometimes i'm guessing that it's coming from a photographer. sometimes the most perfect shot is during the most uncomfortable moments. i the b u. s. for the subject, how do you push past that feeling to capture the moment? well, it's, is it that the difficult decision and sometimes you have to, it's an enter. it's a gut feeling whether you feel like way, how much of an impact you have in the situation is, is the importance of the picture, not necessarily for your own personal, not really for your own personal game, but to communicate a bigger issue is that worth some discomfort, i mean, is it?

and sometimes you know, if it's up, but say if it's, say you know, wars are, there's a funeral, you go and explained to the people, why are there and off? and i want you to document what's going on because don't understand how important that is. and they want the world to know. but there are other times where sometimes you've got to, i mean, you gotta be kind of to be honest yet to be kind of a jerk and get the picture because otherwise, people there and i might like it. but it's more important for that story to be told, but again, it's not for your own personal again to make you know, an extra dollar. it's to try to tell a very important story. you can watch the full conversation with george that i met on the age, a stream id tv page, on instagram. and that's i show for today. i'll leave you with some ga, the photos from the feed, the pilot series for national geographic and collection. ah,
