The CARE you demonstrate in your day-to-day life can have an enormous impact on those around you. It sends a message of value, worth, and appreciation for someone or something- and the world can use as much of those good vibes as possible! My guest for this episode is Director and activist, Sian-Pierre Regis, who brought the things he cares deeply for to life in his debut feature documentary, Duty Free.
Duty Free examines ageism, the care crisis, and economic insecurity in America. After his mother, a 75 year old immigrant, is abruptly fired from her job as a hotel housekeeper, Sian-Pierre takes her on a bucket list adventure to help her reclaim her life. He documents a journey that uncovers the betrayals plaguing her past and the economic insecurity shaping not only her future, but that of an entire generation.
Sian-Pierre Regis is a storyteller with entrepreneurial guts. He is an award-winning journalist, on-camera personality, and cultural critic with an undying love for both pop-culture and social responsibility. He has been a contributor for CNN, HLN, MTV and CBS, covering stories of youth political activism and pop-culture.
