    Where to Watch

Comic and political provocateur W. Kamau Bell hosts this CNN original documentary series in which he travels to the far corners of America to explore race-based subcultures. Using humor to soften his experiences, Bell willingly subjects himself to awkward situations -- like attending a cross-burning, hate-mongering Ku Klux Klan session -- to demonstrate "the many diverse and colorful definitions of America," CNN says. Bell also visits a gated retirement community, experiences inner-city policing, spends time with spring break revelers, speaks to prison inmates, and travels to the Last Frontier.

The Canadian Way

Sun, Jun 24, 201842 mins

Kamau visits Canada to see if it's all it's cracked up to be. Is it truly a tolerant racism-free multicultural utopia and do minorities there like the police? Do disgruntled liberal Americans really move there? How does curling work? How is their single payer healthcare system going for them? How do they deal with their own opioid epidemic? Do they treat their own indigenous peoples any better than the US treats Native Americans? Is it really that cold in French-speaking Quebec? Kamau also meets the descendants of African American slaves who fled to Canada in the 19th century. Finally, he fills in the questionnaire that the Canadian government uses to determine who is eligible to emigrate to Canada. Will Kamau be one of them?
