S1 Episode 05: A Gray Winter’s Tale

As the days reach their shortest and coldest extremes here in the northern hemisphere, humans of every culture find reasons to come together and celebrate holidays, traditions, and community. We reached out to three people who’ve been separated from their communities, whether by their own actions, by force or by happenstance. We asked what they do to reclaim and redefine the spirit of community in the face of imprisonment, disaster, racism or displacement.

Listen as they share their ideas for making your ‘white Christmas’ just a little more gray.
