Back in America

Trailer Hi, my name is Stan Berteloot. I'm a French journalist living in Princeton, New Jersey and I'm the host of Back in America. In this podcast, I explore what makes America, America. To do this. I've met with black activists, abuse survivors, men questioning traditional masculinity, business people, teachers, gay dancers, and politicians "Well I love America, I think they're very few places in the world. Where are young foreigners can come And be established on a completely equal footing to people who grow up in the culture" "At no point in time in the history of this country was a black man allowed to be fully seen and to fully represent himself as a man" "To be American to me is to make your dreams truly come true I mean, I dreamt of being a principal dancer. being gay and married to a man and having children. That was my dream when I was little." "I was 12. We were also expected, just as we would have if we had been in Mexico is to help contribute to the family and so we went to work in the fields." "We were all sold a lie that holding in our feelings and not sharing them not talking about them equated with manhood" "My father was a nuclear engineer and while he was a brilliant man. He was also a monster. My abuse started very young when I was a toddler." "This young lady. Fade in a meeting which was right on the money. You always talk to us about living in the past or can we get away from the past? How can we get away from the past when the past presents itself in the present?" In this podcast, I want to understand why people do the things they do. What drives them? And how this culture and this country, is influencing them. Don't miss upcoming episodes of Back in America.
