Jeffrey Wright on How the U.S. Military Trains Artists

As suicide rate rises for military veterans, Republicans are slashing government support for mental health care for the U.S. Military. HBO's WESTWORLD's star Jeffrey Wright is using his fame for good. He volunteered to direct veterans and military theater performance. HBO is streaming for free a riveting new documentary WE ARE NOT DONE YET, which chronicles how the arts, theater and poetry can be therapeutic and raise social awareness about PTSD for active military and veterans. Still, it is not a panacea. To hear more of Catie Lazarus's conversation with Jeffrey Wright, an Emmy and Tony winning actor and producer, our podcast interview drops Saturday, December 14th.
