Passing, Refugees, Hospitals

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen talks with R.J. Cutler about why he teamed up with Ice Cube to create a reality show called Black.White, where two families go out into the world disguised in a different skin color. We look into the controversial history of colorblind casting in the plays of William Shakespeare. And we hear from the members of a great new band who met in a refugee camp.
