Host Jennie Butler speaks with director Nick Bruckman and producer Amanda Roddy about their award-winning feature film, "Not Going Quietly," which follows activist Ady Barkan as he travels the country fighting for healthcare reform. In this episode, Nick, Amanda, and Jennie discuss commercial work vs. doc filmmaking, how they were able to capture such private moments related to Ady's declining health, and getting the Duplass brothers on board as executive producers.
