Paul Haggis has had an unparalleled run of film successes, from "Crash" to "Million Dollar Baby." His latest film -- the murder-mystery "In the Valley of Elah" -- explores the human toll of war in Iraq. Haggis joins Kojo to discuss storytelling, film, and the challenges of dramatizing a war that's still in progress.

William Gibson has been writing about the future of technology and society for more than twenty years, and is even credited with coining the term "cyberspace." But his most recent novels are set squarely in the present. We talk with the author about writing, technology, modern-day countercultures and his latest book, "Spook Country."
William Gibson, Author, "Spook Country" (Putnam)
They've lived in complete isolation from the modern world for centuries. But now, for the second time six weeks, a group of previously-unknown indigenous Indians emerged from the forest along the Peru-Brazil border. As their ancestral homeland is threatened, we meet a man who is often the first outsider to make contact with such indigenous peoples and find out what governments are doing to protect their rights.
