Adapted from Sunil Gangopadhyay’s celebrated 1968 novel, "Days and Nights in the Forest" is one of director Satyajit Ray’s greatest achievements, a modern search for connection that conjures the timeless resonance of a folktale. Desperate to flee Calcutta’s rat race, four friends—Ashim (Soumitra Chatterjee), Sanjoy (Subhendu Chatterjee), Hari (Samit Bhanja), and Shekhar (Rabi Ghosh)—drive to Palamu, one of India’s rural “tribal lands,” where they bribe a watchman into letting them stay at a sylvan guesthouse. Despite vowing to get away from it all, the crew soon mixes with the locals, including a woodland family: the soulful yet mischievous Aparna (Sharmila Tagore) takes to the overconfident Ashim, while her widowed sister-in-law Jaya (Kaberi Bose) grows closer to the bookish Sanjoy. At the same time, Hari, fresh off a break-up, woos a Santal girl named Duli (Simi Garewal); and Shekhar, despite his own penchant for gambling, tries to rein in his companions’ boozy hedonism. Filled with some of Ray’s most indelible characterizations and lavish images (shot by longtime cinematographer Soumendu Roy), "Days and Nights in the Forest" touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a master at his peak.

HOSPITAL shows the daily activities of a large urban hospital with the emphasis on the emergency ward and outpatient clinics. The cases depicted illustrate how medical expertise, availability of resources, organizational considerations, and the nature of communication among the staff and patients affect the delivery of appropriate health care. The film plays as part of Digital Gym Cinema's year-long retrospective "This is America at 250: Frederick Wiseman." honoring the enduring legacy of the late, great filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. "It is as open and revealing as filmed experience has ever been. You look misery in the eye and you realize there’s nothing to be afraid of… By the end we are so thoroughly involved… that tears well up, because we simply have no other means of responding to the intensity of this plain view of the ordinary activities in Metropolitan Hospital." –Pauline Kael, The New Yorker "The chief characteristic of all Wiseman’s films — and the source of their tremendous emotional impact — is his instinctive sympathy for people who must confront the specific, human effects of vast, impersonal human social forces…" –Richard Schickel, Life Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

First, the late Civil Rights icon Jesse Jackson had ties to us back here in San Diego. Then, our reporter went on a ride along with volunteers who have been documenting the current administration's mass deportation campaign. Also, workers across the California State University system are now on strike. As part of our continuing Price of San Diego series, we look into the cost behind after-school activities and summer camp. Lastly, another installment of an SDNN original, The Pod Behind the Package.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at the age of 84. On Midday Edition, we take a look back at Jackson's visit to the San Diego-Tijuana border in the summer of 1984, and how issues he highlighted decades ago remain relevant in 2026.
