Freedom in the United States is an abstract concept, not because we don't understand what it means, but because it has never been fully embraced. As a nation, we've prioritized maintaining the status quo at the price of true freedom. With increasing political polarization, continued systemic injustice, rising socioeconomic inequality, and growing distrust in the media, Caleb Chrisley is on a mission to imagine what a more free, equitable world might look like. It's hard to dream up anything different from our disastrous reality, but with hope, love and an open dialogue, anything is possible.
