Let's Get Gritty!






Laura Flanders brings her unique perspective to the media through her daily show on GRITtv which covers news and arts events. Available to viewers on cable, satellite and online, her show features interviews with people who are changing or challenging the status quo.


In the above interview, she is talking with Malalai Joya, the youngest woman to be elected to the Afghan parliament, about her latest book A Woman Among Warlords.


The Senior Producer of GRITtv is Gina Kim, who also worked with Michael Moore on The Awful Truth. The Arts Producer is Alexa Birdsong, and the Got Docs Producer is Patricia Foulkrod.


What is unique about GRITtv, is that it is viewer supported, and provides a forum that is able to challenge some of what is being protrayed in mainstream media. It is produced by women, and the choice of guests and interviews range from issues about the healthcare bill, to the life of a female Jehovah's Witness. It is her fresh and frank perspective which is appealing to viewers of all ages and backgrounds.
