Episode 9: The Radicals

It was the shocking protest that started it all. After months, Ali and Sam finally track down the two young people — Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland — who shocked the world when they targeted a beloved Van Gogh painting with a can of soup. As they await their trials, they get candid: What have their controversial tactics accomplished? What will it take for them to stop? How do they feel about Aileen Getty’s oil fortune funding the movement? And after a year of reporting, will Ali and Sam finally meet Aileen?
