We Watched Minneapolis Doomsday Documentaries so You Don’t Have To

Listen Later

We've had multiple documentaries come out regarding the challenges Minneapolis faces and what the path forward should look like for our cities. Coming out of this month's elections where Twin Cities residents voted for new leaders and what the path forward should look like, we thought it was a good time to take a look at the documentaries "A Precarious State," "The Fall of Minneapolis," and "Paradox: Echoes of Reform & the Minneapolis Police" to see what they have to say about our cities and what misinformation they might be spreading. Host Sean McPherson is joined by Producer Tiffany Bui and Contributor Winter Keefer to interrogate these films. Before that, Sean chats with Producer Adam Sage to let you know all of the can't miss events happening in the Twin Cities this week.
