Dreaming America: Season 4 Trailer
What comes to your mind when you hear the term, "American Dream?"
This season on Complexified, we have changed things up a bit! We are taking apart this idea of the American Dream. Turning it upside down to explore our multiple, honest ways of Dreaming America.
Each week, I will take you with me as I learn more about where this idea came from– and what it has to do with religion and politics. We will move beyond the theoretical, and explore this idea through hearing people's stories. Join us!
The American Dream… is complicated. It always has been.
For some - this dream has been a nightmare
… a mirage in a forsaken desert.
A myth.
For others, it’s been an oasis from hardship, oppression, violence.
… a vision realized through physical freedom and material success.
This season on Complexified, we’re asking:
Where did the myth of the American dream come from?
What’s it got to do with religion and politics?
And how is it shaping our lives, for better or worse?
Coming to you from the Institute for Religion, Politics & Culture at Iliff School of Theology, I’m your host, Amanda Henderson, back with a new season of Complexified…my show about the powerful ways religion and politics intersect and affect my life. Your life. And all of our lives, together.
Each week, I’ll share what I’m learning as we turn the myth of the American Dream into our multiple, honest ways of Dreaming America.
Complexified: Dreaming America launches October 5th. Follow and share the show now, wherever you listen.
