Up To Date's Indie, Foreign & Doc Critics' 'Three To See,' December 26-28

Black Bear Pictures

It is a tradition for many to take in a movie over the holiday weekend.  If you're trying to decide which to see, Up to Date's independent, foreign, and documentary film critics have a few suggestions for you:

Cynthia Haines:

  • Boyhood
  • Wild
  • Whiplash

Steve Walker:

  • The Interview
  • The Imitation Game
  • Wild
As senior producer of Up To Date, I want our listeners to hear familiar and new voices that shine light on the issues and challenges facing the myriad communities KCUR serves, and to expose our audiences to the wonderful and the creative in the Kansas City area. Just as important to me is an obligation to mentor the next generation of producers to ensure that the important conversations continue. Reach me at alexanderdk@kcur.org.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
