On the November 18th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with investigative reporter Jonathan Jones about the Frontline documentary “Firestone and the Warlord.” The Propublica/Frontline investigation uncovers the secret relationship between the American company Firestone and Liberian Warlord Charles Taylor. The report reveals that Firestone gave millions of dollars to Taylor’s government and hired his soldiers to protect its rubber plantation. How interwoven is this relationship? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
