Youth Rising

Season 7 Episode 22 | 26m 14s

In the exuberance of youth lies the heartbeat of change. Beatriz grapples with being “too girly” in the rigorous world of STEM; Omar’s underdog mayoral race captures the essence of youthful idealism; and Sara shares the behind-the-scenes story of young, climate education activists. Three storytellers, three interpretations of YOUTH RISING, hosted by Wes Hazard.

Aired: 04/23/24
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
