All-American: Venus & Serena Podcast

Witness Docs presents All-American, a series that zeroes in on sports icons to find out what their stories can tell us about America itself.

Host and producers Jordan Bell and journalist Albert Chen revisit Tiger's journey to find out what the media got right, and what it didn't. Season 2 focuses on Venus and Serena Williams. Hosted by veteran journalist Cecil Harris, the story reveals ugly truths about how America often scorns and resists Black excellence.
