OCCUPIED STATES OF AMERICA
Police departments across the country face an issue of epidemic proportions — use of force, especially against people of color. Instead of fanning the flames of “Us vs. Them”, Occupied States tackles the issues head-on by looking at how police departments engage the communities they serve, seeking to find solutions that can heal and unite us all.
THE MIS-EDUCATION OF AMERICA
The educational system in America is failing our black and brown youth. Public schools are under resourced, teachers are overwhelmed and under-paid and school districts are ill-equipped to address the problem. “Mis-Education” takes a look at the issues affecting school districts around the country.
WHAT/NOW
In a world that revolves around the breaking news cycle, we often forget about the story once it’s no longer in the mainstream media. But that doesn’t mean that the story’s over. What/Now revisits some of the biggest stories that were once all over the news, but have since fallen out of the spotlight. From the Flint water crisis to Occupy Wall street, we’ll explore the course of history and the lives changed in the aftermath.
SOMETHING'S IN THE WATER
When most people think of lead in drinking water, they think of Flint, Michigan. But there are elevated levels of lead in drinking water in cities from Philly to Fresno. This not only has an adverse affect on the health of our citizens, but this crisis can have a permanent affect on our youth. We look at the issue facing cities across the country as they try to remedy the situation.
WHAT IT'S LIKE
From a survivor of a mass shooting to an undocumented immigrant trying to achieve “American Dream”, What It’s Like offers up a look into the unique lives of people who have been through a life-changing event. Each episode spotlights an individual who shares a first-person account of their experiences, offering perspective and access into a world that may be lesser known by the masses.
DOUBLE NEGATIVE
Double Negative talks to men — and women — to uncover the truth about who Black men date — and why.
HATE U.
KKK. Neo Nazi. Alt-Right. Hebrew Israelites. Anti-LGBT. Anti-immigrant. Anti-Muslim. Why is there so much hate in the world? Hate U. examines the different people, groups, and organizations that espouse hate including their history, beliefs and practices to shed light on the impact these ideologies have on society.
DIGGIN' IN THE CRATES - COVER ART2.png
The debate is as old as time: Enter The WuTang, All Eyes on Me, Straight Outta Compton, Ready to Die, Low End Theory…the list could go on and on. But which albums are the best rap records of all time? Diggin’ In the Crates profiles the ten albums that defined the culture, a generation and the world.
