Date & Time:  September 14, 2025, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

The Trouble of Color

Long before their country joined the war, American aid workers undertook rescue efforts abroad. Who were these women and men who sought to save lives? Saints and Liars tells their stories and illuminates the moral questions they encountered, the devastating decisions they had to make, and the role of unpredictable and irrational factors on the ground in shaping individual fates.
