Studio 360: Breaking Bad & Libyan Hip-Hop

Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, explains how his feel-bad television series (about a meth-dealing high school teacher with cancer) can inspire so much love from audiences and critics. The Normal Heart finally opens on Broadway, a quarter-century after its first performance, and its account of the early years of the AIDS epidemic is still surprising audiences. And as the revolution continues in Libya, music and art are helping to sustain the rebel cause — but fighting on the cultural front can have severe consequences. [Broadcast Date: July 2, 2011]
