Sights + Sounds: 'Paper Bag Plan' film

from Crosscurrents · host KALW

For parents with children who are disabled, there can be a haunting question - “Who is going to take care of my child when I die?” In the award-winning film “Paper Bag Plan” a father faces that possibility when he learns he’s diagnosed with colon cancer. His 25-year-old son lives with Cerebral Palsy. And he attempts to make his son more independent by training him to be a bagger at a grocery store.  This movie is the latest feature by Oakland filmmaker Anthony Lucero. It’s inspired by his mother and disabled brother, and it's now out on streaming platforms. The host of KALW’s Sights and Sounds Show Jenee Darden, spoke with Lucero about his new movie.
