13 - Watch the Movie, Do the Work

On this week’s episode, Shelleena and Nneka lead a discussion
surrounding the new Netflix film, “American Son”. Nicole, Karia,
and Amanda join our hosts to break down and examine this
incredibly impactful movie, that was based on a Broadway play of
the same name. As always with our media episodes, there will be
spoilers as we discuss the entirety of the plot. The team talks
through some of the most heartbreaking, violent, and intense
scenes, and offers our critical analyses and perspectives.
 Nneka and Shelleena also lead us in a check-in to start,
and we finish with our team buzz rating and a check-out
discussing some self-care strategies.


**TW**Due to the nature of the content discussed during this
episode, we would also like to offer a trigger warning as our
conversations involve emotional, heavy discussions surrounding
police brutality and anti-Black racism. Please only listen if you
feel you have the capacity to do so and if while listening you
feel you need help, please reach out to your local support
networks.


This week we’re drinking Cave Spring Riesling VQA. We gave this
wine a buzz rating of 3.65/5.
