12:29Now PlayingAs the United States continues to face criticism for tear gassing asylum seekers on the U.S.Mexico border, we look at the crisis in Honduras and why so many Hondurans are fleeing their homeland. Honduras has become one of the most violent countries in the world because of the devastating drug war and a political crisis that stems in part from a U.S.backed 2009 coup. We speak with Dana Frank, professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her new book is titled, “The Long Honduran NightResistance, Terror, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup.”
