On Second Thought For Thursday, July 21, 2016

On today’s show, we’ll preview some of the documentaries at this year’s Macon Film Festival. We talk about a new documentary called "Mind/Game." It follows former WNBA player Chamique Holdsclaw and her struggles with mental illness. We speak with Holdsclaw about the challenges she faced on and off the court. 

Plus, we hear the story of how more than a dozen African-American girls were held in a south Georgia stockade for two months. The girls, aged 13-15, were imprisoned after a civil rights demonstration in Americus, Georgia.

Then, a new film documents the final days of Atlanta’s infamous Clermont Hotel. We talk with the film's director Heather Hutson and Bill Clark, who was the hotel's last manager before it closed in 2009. Then, we'll meet a photographer whose images of famous people turned him into the subject of a new film.
