  Host Donna Walker welcomes filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi to talk about his latest documentary "Pompeii: Beneath the Clouds" an homage to the city of Naples, its inhabitants and everyday life, as well as its fascinating role in antiquity at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius; also an upcoming career retrospective at the American Cinematheque (April 16-20). "Pompeii: Beneath the Clouds" was awarded a Special Jury Prize at the 82nd Venice Intl Film Festival. Following the archeologists uncovering ancient remains, along with the authorities trying to prevent looting of the priceless artifacts, it juxtaposes the workers unloading grain, the teacher and his students, the first responder calls to police and fire department. An eternal portrait of a city's ancient past, as well as its present.
