Edwin Moses is recognized as one of the greatest athletes in the world. The Olympic champion used science and math calculations to dominate track and field. He went undefeated in the 400-meter hurdles for 122 consecutive races, for nine years, nine months, and nine days, between 1977 to 1987. But his life’s legacy reaches beyond sports and is now being told in a documentary, “MOSES-13 Steps.” Moses talks with show host Rose Scott about the film that will debut at the 6th Annual Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival on Saturday, Sept. 21.

As the second-largest voting bloc in the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both need to appeal to Latino voters to win the November election. According to data gathered by the Pew Research Center, it's estimated 36.2 million Hispanics are eligible to vote in the 2024 presidential election. While data suggests Latino voters across the country voted for President Joe Biden by very wide margins in 2020, Trump gained support among Latino voters in 2020, earning a higher percentage of voters than he did in 2016. On today’s special edition of “Closer Look,” we continue our series of conversations with specific voter blocs leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Rose talks with several guests, varying in political views, about top-of-mind issues of Latino voters in Georgia and across the nation.

Gov. Brian Kemp has pledged to make Georgia the e-mobility capital of the world. In recent years, Kemp provided billions of dollars in incentives to lure automakers Hyundai, Kia and the startup Rivian to the state. However, a new report from Politico shows some Georgians are excited about the well-paying EV jobs, but they’re suspicious of electric vehicles. Reporter David Ferris from Politico's Energy and Environment News discusses the report and explains Georgians’ conflicted relationship with electric vehicles.

Also, at least two women have died after not having access to abortion care in Georgia. And a new investigative report published by ProPublica tells the story of one of the women, Amber Nicole Thurman. Kavitha Surana, a reporter at ProPublica, discusses her article and the ongoing implications of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
