Unreported World: Gangs, Tradwives and More
Three Unreported World episodes compiled together, each built from on-the-ground reporting rather than studio talk. In Chicago, Seyi Rhodes follows the city's state-funded 'violence interrupters' as they try to mediate between rival gangs during a stretch with 250 shootings in two months, some of the workers still showing up after their jobs were cut. In Detroit, reporter Kiki King and director Karolina Mottram examine why roughly 30 million American adults, one in five, cannot read well enough to hold a job, filming shortly after Donald Trump's inauguration as literacy becomes a political flashpoint. The final segment follows Karishma Vyas into the world of 'TradWives,' a movement of women who build their identities and politics around traditional homemaking and devotion to Trump. Each report relies on street-level interviews, home visits, and direct access to its subjects rather than narration alone, giving a ground view of three very different corners of American life under strain.
