Comments about PBS Bill Moyers Journal: 11/13/2009 DVD:
Bill Moyers has done many wonderful interviews over the years but the 11/13/09 conversation with Anna Deavere Smith has to count as one of his best.
Ms. Smith's one-woman show, "Let Me Down Easy," was riveting, to begin with. Her ability to listen to people's language and feeling, and then portray these people on stage was very moving. She reflected on several of Mr. Moyer's comments so that their exchanges moved from interview to conversation.
Mr. Moyers was appreciative and respectful of her work but never fawning. He elicited information about Ms. Smith's life and work; he also facilitated a deeper emotional exchange.
Maybe the two of them should talk about race in America? Maybe they already did.
