#3 Why Does Everyone Call Me Carlos? VENT Documentaries
-
- Arts
People always get Santos's name wrong. He introduces himself as Santos, and a few minutes later... they call him Carlos. Now he's on a mission to work out why it happens, and why it bothers him so much. He talks to people who've lost their names and changed their names. He explores how race and class play into whose names get remembered. And he asks whether some names are more neutral than others.
VENT Documentaries are produced by Jess Lawson and Arlie Adlington, with help from Emilia Gill, Moeed Majeed and Kamiah Chae Cowell.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
