There are some really important ideas explored in this piece, and some great interview tape. It's an acts and tracks piece that includes an interview with a mother and daughter about their mixed race identities. The insights of each woman, and the reporter, are thoughtful and engaging. But I think the piece needs some motion, some action, some energy. I think I would be more interested in the ideas if I got to know these women, just a little bit, beyond the interview setting. I would love to hear them interact with each other, or hear them in a scene within their communities, whatever that might be.
