Oakland filmmaker, rapper and activist Boots Riley’s new film ‘I Love Boosters’ is a surreal crime comedy that follows three women who shoplift clothes to make ends meet. Like all of his work, there’s radical pro-worker politics, indictments of industry, and funk-filled absurdism. We’ll talk to Riley about his distinctive storytelling and how it centers his hometown. Guests: Boots Riley, writer and director, "I Love Boosters;" his previous films include "Sorry to Bother You" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
