Welcome to Season 2 Episode 14 of Upstream Downstream. This week Bianca Ison recaps our previous American Conversation Series event: The First Step Documentary and Panel Discussion. Listen as the panel discusses how they overcame the challenges of talking across the aisle, gaining the trust of each other, and how important the issues of the drug epidemic and incarceration are within the film.

 We would like to thank our producer, Sarah Burke, and our assistant producer and editor, Bianca Ison.
