Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Is the US to blame for a massacre in Mexico? In March 2011, dozens - maybe hundreds - of people in Allende, Mexico were kidnapped and murdered one night by the Zetas drug cartel. Survivors say no one came to help. The next morning, construction equipment rolled into the town, which is near the Texas border, and destroyed businesses and homes. Allende still looks like a war zone. All of this had a lot to do with American law enforcement gone wrong.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
