With Bryan Stevenson, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Ruha Benjamin, and David BlightIn the second half of a two-part episode on the stories that shape our understanding of America, Kimberlé Crenshaw and special guests explore the ways that film and other technologies have reproduced and popularized these dominant stories.
