Synopsis
Healing and Hope – After catastrophic earthquakes devastated war-torn northwest Syria in February, Scott Pelley travels to the battleground to meet an American medical charity and volunteers for the White Helmets who braved the odds. Pelley speaks with healthcare workers, survivors, and first responders about the earthquakes and the constant attacks on healthcare ordered by Syria's Bashar Al-Assad and his ally, Russia's Vladimir Putin. Who is Ray Epps – Ray Epps is notorious among consumers of right-wing media as the man who initiated the Jan. 6 attack to undermine President Trump. The convoluted theory posits Epps was a secret agent of the "deep state," and members of Congress have promoted it. Death threats and harassment forced Epps and his wife, Robyn, to sell their Arizona ranch and go into hiding. So who is Ray Epps? Bill Whitaker spent several days with the Epps in their first television interview. Nicolas Cage – Actor Nicolas Cage invites 60 MINUTES into his eclectic Las Vegas home to meet his African crow, Huginn, and discuss his over 40 years of making movies, including his latest role as Count Dracula in "Renfield." Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with Cage about his love of cinema, his wide-ranging catalog of inspiration, and the ups and downs along the way.
