The Wedge

Who hasn’t been there? Angry, hurt and frustrated with someone you love about a polarizing issue. When journalist Erica Anderson and her mom have a falling out over Covid vaccines, they decide not to let it come between them. Instead, they dive deep into a frank and intimate conversation about family, Covid-19, trustworthy information, and disconcerting trends in holistic wellness culture. Erica and her mom bravely take on the kind of dialogue that so many of us are not just avoiding, but dismissing. The Wedge is created and produced by Spaceship Media and distributed by Colorado Public Radio.
