Ep 2. Episode 2

Vice is a documentary series that explores a variety of topics from politics to culture and everything in between. In season 6 episode 2, titled "Episode 2," Vice delves into a few different stories from around the world.

The first segment of the episode takes us to Oakland, California where we meet members of The Black Panthers, a group that was originally founded in the 1960s as a response to police brutality against Black communities. Today's iteration of The Black Panthers is working to fight gentrification in Oakland and preserve the city's Black cultural heritage. Vice explores how this group is helping to provide affordable housing to those who are being priced out of their neighborhoods, as well as working to educate young people about their rights and the history of the Black Panthers in Oakland.

Next up, Vice takes us to the UK to explore the issue of soaring house prices and the impact it is having on first-time buyers. The UK is currently experiencing a housing crisis, with prices making it nearly impossible for many young people to afford to buy their own homes. Vice speaks with a number of young professionals who are facing this issue head-on and working to find creative solutions to the problem. We see how some people are turning to shared ownership schemes to make home ownership more affordable, while others are using social media to help match up potential co-buyers.

In the final segment of the episode, Vice heads to Liberia to investigate a new phenomenon that has recently taken hold there: a wave of self-proclaimed prophets who are using social media to gain followers. These prophets claim to be able to heal physical and spiritual ailments, and some even claim to be able to raise the dead. Vice explores the impact that these prophets are having on Liberian society, and looks at what is driving people to turn to them for help.

Overall, episode 2 of Vice season 6 takes a look at a range of different issues from around the world, shining a light on important topics that are often overlooked by mainstream media. It is a reminder of the power of documentary storytelling to bring important issues to light and to inspire change in our communities.
