MMC students got an inside look at a major PBS documentary last month, when Business and Theatre Arts professor Jonathan Finegold invited his Music Supervision and Licensing class to a private screening of "AMERIGO: The Search for the American Dream." Finegold served as the film's music supervisor.

“I was so pleased some of my students came down to see my work in live action,” he said.

The event included a discussion with Secretary Hillary Clinton, rap legend Chuck D, global affairs analyst Ian Bremmer, and other guests.

The documentary was released nationwide on June 1 to mark the 250th anniversary of America's independence; be sure to check it out!
