Barris shares that he spoke with Walt Disney Television after they recently re-aired “Juneteenth” and “Hope” to ask for the episode to be released somewhere; they agreed.
“I cannot wait for everyone to finally see the episode for themselves, and, as was the case nearly three years ago, we hope it inspires some much-needed conversation—not only about what were grappling with then or how it led to where we are now, but conversations about where we want our country to go moving forward and, most importantly, how we get there together.”
