She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City.

I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate.

It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine.

The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City. Cmdr. Bill Steven, of the Del Norte County Sheriff's Department, remembers answering a phone call one night in April 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d received a call from some people that said, 'Hey, there’s something suspicious happening on South Beach.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238197745&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238197745'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first he thought people were stealing things from the harbor.

She recognized the boat's origins because she studied recovery efforts after the 2011 tsunami and earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew where it had come from. I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate. She also used social media to find out if anyone wanted Kamome back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I did was just post a little note on the Facebook page. It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine. I jumped up in the air, pumped my fist up and said, “YES! We've connected!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also realized that Kamome was more than just tsunami debris.

The longtime Marin resident was a founding member of the seminal Indo-jazz ensemble Shakti. He’s collaborated widely with Yo-Yo Ma, and he earned the first Grammy Award for a world music album with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s \"Planet Drum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indo-Celtic concept first got a test drive a few years ago when a Glasgow festival invited Hussain to participate in a concert series called Celtic Connections. He expanded the framework for this project\u003cem>, \u003c/em>which was recorded last spring in San Francisco at the SFJAZZ Center (where Hussain is in the midst of a stint as a resident artistic director). The concert concluded a North American tour, and the music feels utterly organic and lived in. Hussain often borrows the Celtic habit of weaving tunes together as medleys, seamlessly moving from one tradition to another, like on the sinuously swaying “Trinkamp/Tajir.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHFro4tRy3g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what makes the album so consistently enthralling is that Hussain constructed the ensemble by twinning instruments to highlight the way the traditions draw on similar tonalities. His tablas work in tandem with John Joe Kelly’s Irish frame drum bodhrán. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron and Patsy Reid (who co-founded the acclaimed band Breabach) trade lines with Indian violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan. And on “Michael’s Matches/Rakesh’s Bansuri” Brittany’s Jean-Michel Veillon, a wooden flute player, is paired with bamboo flute Rakesh Chaurasia (yes, he’s the nephew and disciple of his legendary uncle, Hariprasad Chaurasia).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fUxP_Bezc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dublin guitarist Tony Byrne, a rhythmic dynamo, deserves a fair amount of credit for the way the ensemble locks together so effectively. In an interview earlier this year he told me that he grew up listening to Shakti and reveres the group’s guitarist, jazz great John McLaughlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McLaughlin’s dedication to classical Indian music was another path that led to \"Distant Kin,\" as Hussain decided he wanted to reciprocate his friend’s passion by collaborating with traditional Scottish players (the ancestry of the Yorkshire-born McLaughlin). While this music flows from a history of colonial rule, \"Distant Kin\" embodies a far more powerful dynamic, as these musicians find a common language without sacrificing a bit of their identity.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The longtime Marin resident was a founding member of the seminal Indo-jazz ensemble Shakti. He’s collaborated widely with Yo-Yo Ma, and he earned the first Grammy Award for a world music album with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s \"Planet Drum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indo-Celtic concept first got a test drive a few years ago when a Glasgow festival invited Hussain to participate in a concert series called Celtic Connections. He expanded the framework for this project\u003cem>, \u003c/em>which was recorded last spring in San Francisco at the SFJAZZ Center (where Hussain is in the midst of a stint as a resident artistic director). The concert concluded a North American tour, and the music feels utterly organic and lived in. Hussain often borrows the Celtic habit of weaving tunes together as medleys, seamlessly moving from one tradition to another, like on the sinuously swaying “Trinkamp/Tajir.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/zHFro4tRy3g'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/zHFro4tRy3g'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Part of what makes the album so consistently enthralling is that Hussain constructed the ensemble by twinning instruments to highlight the way the traditions draw on similar tonalities. His tablas work in tandem with John Joe Kelly’s Irish frame drum bodhrán. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron and Patsy Reid (who co-founded the acclaimed band Breabach) trade lines with Indian violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan. And on “Michael’s Matches/Rakesh’s Bansuri” Brittany’s Jean-Michel Veillon, a wooden flute player, is paired with bamboo flute Rakesh Chaurasia (yes, he’s the nephew and disciple of his legendary uncle, Hariprasad Chaurasia).\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/c-fUxP_Bezc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/c-fUxP_Bezc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Dublin guitarist Tony Byrne, a rhythmic dynamo, deserves a fair amount of credit for the way the ensemble locks together so effectively.

While this music flows from a history of colonial rule, \"Distant Kin\" embodies a far more powerful dynamic, as these musicians find a common language without sacrificing a bit of their identity.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Chappatte says they wanted to reveal the humanity of the inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that’s what is a bit unsettling, might be unsettling for some viewers, because death row is a place, is a forgotten place where we put, as a society we put people that are seen as monsters, and we don’t pay attention to what’s going on there. And what you see through the art is actually, you see beauty, you see human emotions,” Chappatte said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 70 framed drawings and paintings line the walls.

She points out that the group “Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights” is one of the show’s sponsors. But she does want visitors to think about how race and class factor into how likely defendants are to be sentenced to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, look at this system. It’s broken. I mean, how come terrible murderers are not on death row, and how come some are? How come some people have money to hire great lawyers, and how come others don’t?” Widmann says. “It has nothing to do with empathy with criminals, you see what I mean?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Windows on Death Row” will travel to North Carolina and Ohio after it closes in Los Angeles on Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\n",

His acrylic paintings draw connections between slavery and prison labor.

Chappatte says they wanted to reveal the humanity of the inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that’s what is a bit unsettling, might be unsettling for some viewers, because death row is a place, is a forgotten place where we put, as a society we put people that are seen as monsters, and we don’t pay attention to what’s going on there. And what you see through the art is actually, you see beauty, you see human emotions,” Chappatte said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 70 framed drawings and paintings line the walls. Some of those include political cartoons submitted by Chappatte’s fellow cartoonists. All the pieces in the show are critical of capital punishment. Chappatte said he reached out to conservative cartoonists but they, too, were against capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the cartoonists says that he’s describing in one of his cartoons that he was for death penalty, then changed his mind. Another of the conservative cartoonists told me, ‘You know what, I’m pro-life all the way, so I’m anti-abortion and anti-death penalty,’ ” Chappatte recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
