Coughlin organized with an attempt to overthrow the government. Listen to the episodes here.
What We're Watching:
Grief and loss are personal journeys. At 92, Eli Tomoner, the creator of Air Florida, decided to end his life under the California End of Life Option Act. "I wanted to bottle him up,” his daughter Ondi Timoner told The New York Times. “I was terrified to not hear his voice again." A filmmaker, Ondi decided to document the last moments of her father's life. The result is her film, Last Flight Home. Variety described the film as “a tribute, a grappling with mortality, an exercise in self-surveillance, a messy home movie, a brief account of aviation history and a lesson in letting go and grief.”
