About this listen
In this solo episode, co-host Hannah Coblentz takes a thoughtful dive into Tyler Perry’s new Netflix film, Straw. With nuance and deep reflection, Hannah explores the systemic weight carried by Perry’s characters—poverty, race, trauma, and silence—and how Straw challenges viewers to reckon with the cultural and structural forces that lead people to their breaking points.
From a "Black Mennonite" lens rooted in faith and social critique, Hannah connects the film’s emotional gut-punch to real-world systems that often leave marginalized people unheard and unsupported. This episode is a meditation on pain, storytelling, and what happens when no one notices how heavy the load has become.
