Season 5 Episode Guide

Episode 1 - The Homeless Crisis in LA

Kamau spends time on LA's notorious Skid Row. This large area of downtown LA is the epicenter of the nation's devastating housing crisis and home to a community of thousands of houseless individuals whose tents have become the marker of failed policy and economic inclusion in our country.
Episode 2 - Where Do We Even Start with White Supremacy?

Five years after meeting with the Ku Klux Klan in the first episode of United Shades of America, Kamau re-approaches the subject of white supremacy by looking past the veil of white robes and swastikas into the deeper, more sinister and damaging systemic applications of white supremacy in the United States.
Episode 3 - The Gig Economy

Kamau takes a look at the state of working America today. Across the U.S., the fastest growing category of new jobs is gig work, spurred on by tech companies and their never-ending stream of apps. In the gig economy, low and uncertain incomes have replaced benefits, health care, and other worker's rights the labor movement fought for.

Kamau visits New York City to talk to recent Iranian immigrants and those who came here decades ago, to learn about their American experience.
Episode 5 - All-American Family Farms

Episode 6 - The Time for Reparations

Kamau heads to New Orleans to explore the topic of reparations.
Episode 7 - Venezuelans in Florida
