A movie hallmark, and Hallmark movies

Settle in.

An American Icons segment about “The Searchers,” John Ford’s problematic masterpiece featuring John Wayne. Kurt Andersen talks with Carol Stabile about an aspect of the Red Scare that’s received scant attention: the 41 women who were blacklisted from radio and television. And how Mariame Kaba, a prison activist who is black and Muslim, falls hard for something very white and very Christian: Hallmark Christmas movies.
