With both political party conventions now over, there are now two months before the first presidential debate, and three months before Election Day. Opinion polls show that Hillary Clinton bounced back into the lead after the Democratic Convention, while Donald Trump battles the parents of a war hero and struggles with the modern history of Ukraine...politics is ever on the mind of news analyst Neal Conan.

Holy Hell

Will Allen gave two decades of his life to a Los Angeles-based cult, and to its charismatic leader. What began as a journey toward personal growth turned into a life of subjugation -- one from which he could not free himself. His life in the cult, and his eventual escape, became a documentary film, called “Holy Hell,” that’s he’s bringing to the Honolulu Museum of Art’s 27th Annual Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival. "Holy Hell” screens at Friday August 19th, at the Doris Duke Theater.
