Re: Miriam's big American adventure
She was honest, admitting that her life expectancy would be drastically reduced as she would not be able to keep quiet about the injustice for the 'have not'. Her host was visibly worried having to drive her there. The American dream is a nightmare for those young men and exposed the underbelly of the US. Her straight talking shocked those when she challenged their belief that their country was the best.Re: Miriam's big American adventure
Yes, I have just been watching it on iPlayer. A very honest assessment, I thought. Having travelled widely in the USA I felt it showed a very true picture. We have been welcomed and made to feel at home in many places, but also realise that one only has to cross the street to be in a dangerous area. We did that once in San Diego and realised when we pulled into a parking lot and a group of black guys started to approach us, that perhaps it would be wise to leave, which we did.Re: Miriam's big American adventure
Re: Miriam's big American adventure
I'm warming to her too . Her compassion shines through . I'll be watching again . What a terrible place south side in Chicago is , did you see the people just hanging around and the children playing in the street just after a shooting . The security man saying , no one even bothered to stop playing ball , it's part of normality . Kill or be killed . Very sad
