info_outlineMinneapolis Police arrive at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in response to a call about a counterfeit $20 bill…
You're going into Minneapolis during the week following the murder of George Floyd.
You're about to take a unique journey through the heart of a city on fire.
You're going to hear anguished voices on the front lines of the protests, voices from the riots as they happen, voices from those who've fought the system of racism, voices from businesses owners whose stores got burnt to the ground, and you'll get it straight from city leaders about their radical plans for ending the police.
And ultimately you're going to 38th & Chicago, where the voices say: this is the place that will change our country forever.
This is American Refugee.
