The story of a movie that sounded the death knell for the silent era and for a legendary producer... followed by a cocktail recipe that raises the dead.
Guest of Honor: Robert Reich
Robert Reich was former Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. He's now a professor at Berkeley and author of the new book "Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future."
