Brandon Peele has built his profession around moving towards the most important and often triggering cultural and political topics. Brandon's willingness to look deeply and critically at the questions surrounding America's collective shadow and the horrors that shape our past and present comes through a lens of purpose.
America e pluribus unum: out of many, one. What does it mean to actually build a national identity that can acknowledge the horrors of our past while also being willing to try to heal and learn from them? How do we build the America that exists in our minds and hearts, as opposed to the America that is fractured, polarized, and increasingly descending into breakdown?
Brandon has been thinking deeply about these questions, and is unafraid to let inquiries of spirituality, identity and history sit alongside ones of politics, capitalism, and economics. In our evocative conversation, Brandon shares how all of these are interrelated and offers a beautiful metaphor about the individual and collective power that calls us into relationship with the land we're all trying to call home.
