Connecting the Dots (Season 11 | Episode 5)

Season 11 Episode 5

In Washington D.C., the road-trippers interview human rights attorney Brittan Heller, who speaks about “connecting the dots” of one’s interests instead of forcing life in a direction artificially. Later, in Philadelphia, the team speaks to race car mechanic Sal Donato before interviewing Christine Borelli and Stacey Cruise, two educators who revitalized a notoriously crime-ridden school.
