11 - Like a Bullet in the Spine (Unbelievable, Part 1/2)

We have a bit of a different format this week! You will only be hearing the first half of our conversation, including our check-in and the wine introduction. We got a little carried away with our discussion and dismantling of the new Netflix series, “Unbelievable”, so we’ve split this episode into 2 parts. During the first half of the conversation, the entire team sits down with Nneka and Shelleena to discuss the beginning episodes and outline the major players in the show. The team also draws connections between the research WomenatthecentrE has conducted and the information presented in Unbelievable, highlighting  some discrepancies. As always, if you haven’t seen the show yet, and don’t want any spoilers, be sure to  watch it now and then hurry back to listen to our debrief! 

**TW**Due to the nature of the content discussed during this episode, we would also like to offer a trigger warning as our conversations involve emotional discussions surrounding sexual violence and police violence. Please only listen if you feel you have the capacity to do so and if while listening you feel you need help, please reach out to your local support networks.

This week we’re drinking Adamo Estate Winery 2018 Estate Riesling. To find out our buzz rating, tune in next week to the second half of this episode!
