The Series
This web series is a meta-ethno-non/fictional representation of the conversations that the authors had during the process of writing and publishing their book, Impolite Conversations (Atria, 2014).
(Produced in conjunction with camra.)
CORA: John, WTF does that mean?

CORA: And read the book!
