Sharing images with each other was supposed to make us feel more connected. Yet trust—in government, media, each other— is at an all time low, and to have faith in no one is to feel completely alone. That's where this series intervenes. Think of it like a relationship advice column. Except, instead of learning to be a better lover or a family member or a friend, this five-episode series is about becoming a better viewer - of images, yes, but also of the ways that images shape how we see and relate to each other. You'll hear from filmmakers, photographers, writers, activists, and even a broker for ISIS videos that were smuggled across the Syrian border, talking about how we are connected to and alienated from each other through images, and how they can help build new forms of trust, support, and solidarity.

"Blackness is a lie, but it's a true lie." - RaMell Ross.
The boundaries between fiction and nonfiction have never been stable, neutral, or benign. What the work of photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross, author and cultural historian Saidiya Hartman, and filmmaker Charles Burnett have in common is the belief that nonfiction media teaches how to see race, how to inhabit it, and how to police it. Can it also open up new ways to see differently? Featuring RaMell Ross, Saidiya Hartman, Charles Burnett, Terri Francis, and Ina Archer
