Ron Olesko speaks with Karen Kramer, director of the documentary "Renegade Dreamers"

"Renegade Dreamers" is a window into the New York protest poets and folk singers of today who use their art for social change, interwoven with a look back at the Beat poets and radical protest singers of the legendary Greenwich Village coffee house scene of the ‘60s that started it all.

Music from Matt Pless, a contemporary political singer-songwriter, is featured at the end of the interview.
