It’s time to stress bake!!!

The state-sanctioned violence continues, people protest peacefully and are attacked and even killed by law enforcement and vigilantes (who are also, more or less, supported by law enforcement).

A look at two shows that confront the crushing pressure of high school athletics in divergent but visceral ways.

Worlds within and outside of this slippery one, full of answers and questions and buoyant hope tunnels.
