"Black people are not dark-skinned white people", says advertising visionary Tom Burrell. In fact, they are much more.

Yet, as Brainwashed testifies, too many in Black America are still wandering in the wilderness.

Tyson and Lang call it a "curiously complicit" alliance.

Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.
