YES WE CAN
After witnessing a racially-charged incident on a New York City bus, Larry turns to LeJean for a shared sense of outrage. But as a historic candidacy pushes the nation ever deeper into an identity crisis of epic proportions, LeJean's baffling response sends a whole handful of her fellow citizens into a mind-bending and side-splitting spiral of self-doubt. Hurtling from the pedestrian to the preposterous, YES WE CAN hilariously confronts the politics of identity and shared narrative, the antics and intricacies of stereotype, and compels us to ask: who are "we" when we say WE?
