35. The Story Of Us (Part 2)
Description
With Bryan Stevenson, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Ruha Benjamin, and David Blight
In the second half of a two-part episode on the stories that shape our understanding of America, Kimberlé Crenshaw and special guests explore the ways that film and other technologies have reproduced and popularized these dominant stories. The episode examines Hollywood’s role in writing and rewriting history, and asks how we can begin writing new stories that tell the full story of us.
