I want to focus for a few weeks on the current US protests and riots which started with the death by cop of George Floyd.

But I'm starting the miniseries with my favourite American - my wife, Chrissy Dunaway Reilly. She has lived in Australia for nearly eleven years and has a fairly rare perspective on what it's like to be an American living in a Western country that is similar in many ways - and yet different. And why she no longer wants to return to the country of her birth.
