Katie Couric travels to U.S. cities to speak with people who are bearing witness to the complicated and consequential questions in American culture today, such as gender inequality, Confederate monuments, working-class anxiety, and other issues.
EPISODE 1
Re-Righting History
Katie Couric travels from Charlottesville to Montgomery to New Orleans, the front lines in the highly controversial battle over removing confederate monuments. From Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore, who is fighting to change the name of her former high school, to Sons of Confederate Veterans and white nationalists, Couric meets with people on all sides of this divisive issue and sifts through all the emotions and experiences that inform the debate.
EPISODE 2
The Muslim Next Door
Katie Couric learns about today’s pressures and opportunities for Muslim Americans.
EPISODE 3
Your Brain On Tech
New, smarter technology has assimilated into our day-to-day lives at breakneck speed. What is it doing to our humanity and how we interact with one another — our empathy and our intelligence? Katie Couric explores the many ways that technology is upending our lives. As Couric searches for a way to weather this digital revolution, she confesses to her own tech addiction and, with DJ Steve Aoki, is tested to see what it is really doing to her brain.
EPISODE 4
The Revolt
At a watershed moment for women in America, Katie Couric sets out to discover why women are still being denied equal pay, treatment and opportunity. Going beyond the headlines of the #MeToo moment and digging deep into what keeps sexism in place, Katie meets the change makers — from Hollywood to Silicon Valley and beyond — pioneering real-world solutions to gender discrimination.
EPISODE 5
The Age of Outrage
If you haven’t been on a college campus recently, you might need a glossary to understand the new norms of “safe spaces,” “no platforming,” “trigger warnings” and “cultural appropriation.” The question of what we can and cannot do and say has divided, confused and angered Americans. Katie Couric spends time with controversial speakers and student organizers and behind the scenes at late-night comedy series, asking whether political correctness is a matter of sensitivity or censorship.
EPISODE 6
White Anxiety
Katie Couric travels to dozens of cities across North America — from Fremont, Nebraska, to Montgomery, Alabama — speaking with hundreds of people to get an inside look at pressing social issues, including gender inequality, Muslims in America, political correctness, white working-class anxiety, the battle over Confederate monuments and statues, and how technology is affecting our humanity.
