America Inside Out with Katie Couric

Katie Couric travels from Charlottesville to Montgomery to New Orleans, the front lines in the highly controversial battle over removing confederate monuments. From Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore, who is fighting to change the name of her former high school, to Sons of Confederate Veterans and white nationalists, Couric meets with people on all sides of this divisive issue and sifts through all the emotions and experiences that inform the debate.

Katie Couric learns about why this moment is a time of great pressure and opportunity for Muslim Americans, beginning her journey with comedian and actor Aasif Mandvi. Couric spends time with a Muslim community in Raleigh, North Carolina; meets a glamorous young model who is a Somali refugee; and hangs out in Brooklyn with a Muslim hip-hop artist, Olympic medalist and tech entrepreneur. How do we balance our fears with fairness? What is it really like to be Muslim in America?

New, smarter technology has assimilated into our day-to-day lives at breakneck speed. What is it doing to our humanity and how we interact with one another — our empathy and our intelligence? Katie Couric explores the many ways that technology is upending our lives. As Couric searches for a way to weather this digital revolution, she confesses to her own tech addiction and, with DJ Steve Aoki, is tested to see what it is really doing to her brain.

At a watershed moment for women in America, Katie Couric sets out to discover why women are still being denied equal pay, treatment and opportunity. Going beyond the headlines of the #MeToo moment and digging deep into what keeps sexism in place, Katie meets the change makers — from Hollywood to Silicon Valley and beyond — pioneering real-world solutions to gender discrimination.

The 2016 election put a spotlight on America’s white working class — one-third of all Americans — whose economic and cultural anxiety are fueling the country’s growing political divide. To understand the real roots of working-class anger and frustration, Katie Couric journeys to rural and Rust Belt America to meet everyday Americans who feel like their towns, their jobs and their very way of life are vanishing.

If you haven’t been on a college campus recently, you might need a glossary to understand the new norms of “safe spaces,” “no platforming,” “trigger warnings” and “cultural appropriation.” The question of what we can and cannot do and say has divided, confused and angered Americans. Katie Couric spends time with controversial speakers and student organizers and behind the scenes at late-night comedy series, asking whether political correctness is a matter of sensitivity or censorship.

The American landscape is shifting before our eyes, in a world that's more complicated than ever. Katie Couric travels across America meeting people where they live, work, pray, and play - searching for truth and looking for answers: Who are we? What do we stand for? Where are we going? And how do we make things better?
