Notas del episodio
In this episode, Tracy is taking a look at Disney's 2000 animated short film, "John Henry," about the black folk hero and his famous competition against a steam drill. And she's joined by the Burden brothers, hosts of "A Burden for the Times," a podcast all about clarifying conversations on culture and race. They discuss whether representation matters in media and how it can be done right, the real history behind the legend of John Henry, how this tale of self-sacrifice and leading others to a promised land reminds us of the Gospel, and more. Find out how director Mark Henn's faith shines through in this small but mighty animated film.
