“The Devil Is Busy” kept Soledad O’Brien busy, too

Award-winning journalist, documentarian & Oscar-nominated filmmaker Soledad O'Brien pulled up to the kitchen table to discuss her nominated work, "The Devil Is Busy."

A younger Debra Shigley wrote a fan letter to Soledad O’Brien, and from that early interaction sprung a mentorship. Now the Emmy Award-winning journalist & documentarian (now Oscar-nominated) filmmaker joined Debra and co-host Caroline Wells for an episode “At The Kitchen Table” to discuss O’Brien’s most recent documentary – an Oscar-nominated piece her production team filmed in Atlanta.

O’Brien’s latest doc, ⁠“The Devil Is Busy,”⁠ follows the trials and tribulations of an Atlanta abortion clinic besieged by protests. Further conversation dug into American media platforming disinformation on equal footing with expertise, which is central to much of the divide in the political conversation around reproductive choice.
