THAT GOT WEIRD — Confronting the uncomfortable in hopes of bridging the divides. A new series from Twin Cities PBS (TPT) that reveals true stories of racism experienced by Indigenous, Black, Asian and other people of color in Minnesota. Along with a promise of anonymity, each subject interviewed has a hand in designing their own character and giving it a pseudonym. No roosters were harmed in the making of this series.

THAT GOT WEIRD is presented as part of TPT's Racism Unveiled Storytelling Initiative, which aims to call out racism and highlight solutions from our communities to end systemic racism. Racism Unveiled is funded generously by Otto Bremmer Trust, Health Partners, the St. Paul and Minnesota Foundations and US Bank.
