Podcast: Something I Can’t Unsee – The Siege of the U.S. Capitol and Biden’s Inauguration Through Immigrant Eyes
Reporting and analysis from Feet in 2 Worlds’ journalists.
“A Better Life?”
“A Better Life?” explores how America’s failed response to COVID-19 has reshaped immigrants’ lives and their relationship to the United States. Each episode tells a different immigrant story and examines how the crisis has challenged or changed that person’s ideas of what it means to be American.
The show also includes conversations with immigrant elders — grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles — to hear how they are coping during this time, and what they have learned over the years that can help the rest of us survive today’s challenges.
