WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
In 2009, the President of Honduras was whisked out of the country “in his pajamas” by members of the military. While President Obama at first called it a coup, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sidestepped the rule that would have required cutoff of all US aid, by supporting quick new elections. In this program, you get to hear her perspective, but also hear from people who were outraged and who suffered harm politically and personally.
