Next Stop | Season 03 | Episode 6
A change of place, temporary or permanent, can transform our perspectives – and our lives – forever. A bathroom remodeling project transports Lorena Leonard to her childhood in Medellín during the Colombian drug war of the ’80s; Kelli Dunham finds herself in a not-so-ordinary boot camp in the middle of Florida’s swamps; and Angie Chatman crosses racial boundaries during a turbulent flight. Three storytellers, three interpretations of NEXT STOP, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
