Bullets in the Hood, Purple Hearts, and Palestinian Election

On this edition of Rise Up Radio:

youth news;
Terrence Fisher and Daniel Howard about "Bullets in the Hood - A Bed-Stuy Story," their brilliant new documentary film on gun violence and the police killing of Timothy Stansbury, Jr.;
photojournalist Nina Berman about her new book "Purple Hearts: Back from Iraq" -- stories of wounded U.S. soldiers trying to heal;
and with the help of Rise Up’s Leanne in the West Bank, we hear an interview conducted by Palestinian teenagers with a performer about her comedy routine on the Palestinian elections.
