Ep. 95 - Home

BrownTown on BrownTown. As SoapBox (the film and movement media
hub that powers Bourbon 'n BrownTown) moves into its first-ever
office, Caullen and David discuss their journeys finding and
curating spaces to call home, personally and professionally.
BrownTown affirms housing as a human right while examining
Chicago and America's dialectical relationships -- the housing
crisis and Bring Chicago Home legislation, decades of US
imperialism and caring for asylum seekers, Wall Street bailouts
and billionaire tax breaks while the working many unionize for
better workplaces, etc. While films like SoapBox's Calvin's
Story (2016) create empathy, we must balance the
interpersonal with the need to radically transform systems if we
are ever to bring everyone home. Originally recorded June 19,
2023.
