BRING IT HOME tells the story of five families at a crossroads after the closing of the GM Lordstown auto plant. GM's decision forced thousands to decide between transferring out-of-state or staying put. If they stay, they risk loss of employment and benefits. As families wrestle these tough choices, they are left wondering why a company recording billions in profits is shuttering factories.

Sometimes, life tempts us to test the limits. Tim’s rebellious scheme to outsmart the system leads to a lesson about honesty; Carol, once a lively dancer, reclaims joy and freedom on the dance floor despite multiple sclerosis; and Kona discovers her true resilience on a perilous Yukon River journey. Three storytellers, three interpretations of GETTING AWAY WITH IT, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
