This week BEHIND THE LENS digs deep and welcomes director Delila Vallot to talk about her latest documentary, CAN YOU DIG THIS. Focusing on the urban gardening revolution taking place in South Central Los Angeles, CAN YOU DIG THIS shines an inspirational light on a community that is now picking up shovels instead of guns. You can hear Delila's live interview at the halfway point of the show. And we're doing some more digging "behind the lens and below the line" with THE GOOD DINOSAUR. Take a listen to excerpts of interviews with the film's voice talent - Sam Elliott, Jeffrey Wright, Raymond Ochoa, Anna Paquin and AJ Buckley as they talk about "going dino" and the magic of THE GOOD DINOSAUR.
