Ravi sits down with Ann Bauer to discuss her piece, "America’s Families Are Not Okay" and the growing crisis of family estrangement.

Ravi and Ann first explore why over one in four millennials and Gen Zers say they are estranged from at least one family member before turning to the role that TV, film, and social media may play in familial expectations and interactions. Finally, they look to the future and discuss why younger generations might learn from this current era of familial dynamics and choose to reject estrangement culture.
