Summary
Journalist John Burns and Mexican film director Alfonso Cuaron on this edition of Fresh Air. John Burns is the Islamabad Bureau Chief for the New York Times. He will talk about reporting on Pakistan and Afghanistan. In the past, Burns has been posted in China, Bosnia, South Africa, and Russia. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes, one of them in 1997, for his reporting on the Taliban. Alfonso Cuaron's new film Y Tu Mama Tambien is set in Mexico and is about two teenage boys and an "older" woman who set out on a journey. The film has been described as a "smart and sexy new road movie" and one that transcends the usual teen road-trip genre. Cuaron previously directed two consecutive Hollywood movies, A Little Princess, and Great Expectations. (Broadcast Date: May 7, 2002)
