The Neighbors You Never Talk To: Recent Episodes
Culture Reel
Cultural awareness doesn't have to be rocket science. It all starts with talking. Based in NYC, the Culture Reel team seeks to understand the many cultures in the city living side by side , neighboring one another, sometimes never truly understanding or embracing their differences. What started with one interview with a fellow New Yorker, has turned into a insatiable chase to interview people worldwide. Here are the interviews, stories, dreams, and cultures of the people we encounter.
