ATX TV Festival and Hollywood, Health & Society present a look at how scripted series are depicting race, racism and its intersection with the justice system. The creatives behind UnPrisoned, Superman & Lois, Bosch, and more join us discuss the use of personal experience, research, comedy, and a range of genres to shape tell these stories, and how TV can play a crucial role reshaping our perspective on race, the carceral systems, and stigma against the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated.

This conversation was recorded at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.
