What’s up with California’s High Speed Rail? | Disability Film Festival ‘Superfest’ at Sac Public Library

The head of California’s High Speed Rail project joins us. Also, CalMatters shares how the massive transportation project could reshape the Central Valley. Finally, the Sacramento Public Library hosts the disability film festival “Superfest.”

 What’s up with California’s High Speed Rail?
California’s High Speed Rail project has been the source of public scrutiny for years thanks to budget-busting financial overruns, mismanagement and delays. Just a few weeks ago, the Biden administration pumped another $3 billion into the project, which won’t be ready for another several years, and that’s just Phase 1 from Bakersfield to Merced. Today on Insight, we take a deep dive into the high speed rail with CEO Brian Kelly. Plus, we are joined with CalMatters’ Commentary Editor, Yousef Baig with his reporting on how high-speed rail could help re-shape the future of the Central Valley.
Disability Film Festival ‘Superfest’ at Sac Public Library
It is the longest running disability festival in the world, and this weekend will be landing in Sacramento. Cara Latham, Supervisor of the Ella K McClatchy branch of the Sacramento Public Library, joins us about the 5th annual Sacramento Superfest happening Sunday, Jan. 28 from 3pm to 6pm. We’re also joined by Shaina Ghuraya, the co-director of Superfest, about the cutting-edge cinema that portrays disability through a diverse, complex and engaging lens that prioritizes access for disabled filmgoers of all kinds.
