Description: When economic freedom is lacking people often turn to the arts to express themselves. Join Terry & Matt Kibbe to discuss Free the People’s new documentary film, The Free Life, about Cuban-born artist Carlos Luna, whose teacher and grandmother warned him of the risks of practicing his art in Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
