This week on the podcast we are delighted to think critically about the Apple TV+ series Little America. The anthology, from makers of The Big Sick and Master of None, puts the immigrant experience at the center of its plot. Currently available to view without a subscription and already renewed for a second season, this series presents stand-alone episodes observing the story and life of an individual immigrant living in the United States. Join us as we take a look at several episodes, from the tale of a young boy left to run the family motel when his parents are deported, or a Nigerian college student in Oklahoma who loves American cowboy culture, to a Syrian refugee seeking asylum in the US so that he can live openly as a gay man, and explore how successfully Little America presents their stories.Time Stamps:6:36 - Main Discussion on Little America42:56 - What’s Your Freq Out?Carolyn on Unorthodox, Netflix seriesEbony on this Buzzfeed Bollywood movie list: https://www.buzzfeed.com/nusrat21/a-guide-for-people-new-to-bollywood and song from Little America by Punjabi folk singer Arif Lohar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjaH2iuoYWEAnita on the Parks and Recreation reunion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vl_oUMyGYU Links Mentioned:Lilly Wachowski twitter response to Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump taking “the red pill” - https://twitter.com/lilly_wachowski/status/1262104754496339968?s=20 ** Support the Stay in the Game Relief Fund - https://givebutter.com/stayinthegame Follow Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe on to FFR on Apple PodcastsTwitterInstagram
