Vanessa Block (Pig)

Vanessa Block produced and co-wrote the simmering story of Pig, in which Nicholas Cage plays a man who goes into the big city of Portland in search of his beloved truffle pig.We talk about how her background in chemistry and pre-med led her to the Congo, and making the Oscar shortlisted documentary "The Testimony." We also talk about the misimpression that some audiences had about Pig, and what our presumptions say about us as moviegoers.And she tells us where to get the best salted baguette in Portland.
