We also discuss the 'Every Teen Seen' platform that Kindra started to fight teen suicides in her community. Kindra describes how these issues have shaped how she perceives God.

In this 2-part episode, the 3 of us hosts scratch the surface of some of the more indigestible topics from the early latter-days. We try to understand why these topics are triggering and hope to create a space where these topics are not taboo. Don’t forget to watch for Part 2!

OTOS011 - Who Cares About LDS History?

Chris Wei interviews journalist Kristina Smith and filmmaker Spencer Allred about their collaborative project, THE HUSHED ONES, a documentary film which examines the issue of sexual abuse in the LDS Church by looking closely at the McKenna Denson story and the #ProtectLDSChildren movement. They explain some of the decisions they’re making as documentarians with regard to narrative structure, artistic expression, journalistic ethics, and socioreligious activism; they explore the difficulty in digging into systemic issues with nuance and balance; and they discuss generally what they hope to accomplish—and who they hope to reach—with the project.  www.hushedones.com  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hushedones/the-hushed-ones-a-cover-up-34-years-in-the-making
