00:00:01,910 --> 00:00:04,819
S1: I'm Charlotte Alter and this is Person of the Week –

2
00:00:04,820 --> 00:00:07,340
S1: a new show from TIME about the people who shape

3
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,010
S1: our world and the forces that shape them.

4
00:00:10,369 --> 00:00:13,880
S1: As a Senior Correspondent for TIME, I've covered political campaigns,

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,910
S1: national protests, new technologies, and more.

6
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:19,880
S1: I've talked to thousands of people – and if there's one

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,490
S1: thing I've learned, it's that to understand our world, you

8
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:25,100
S1: need to understand the people who influence it.

9
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:28,640
S1: So, this summer, I'll be having more conversations with the

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,400
S1: humans behind the headlines. A lot more.

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,100
S1: And I'm bringing them to you firsthand.

12
00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:36,290
S1: You'll hear from lawmakers:

13
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,550
S2: "Florida's really a case study in the difference between politics

14
00:00:40,550 --> 00:00:41,600
S2: and policy."

15
00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:42,800
S3: Artists:

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,320
S3: "I do know film and I do know actors. You

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,000
S3: start building on what you do know."

18
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:48,200
S1: Business leaders:

19
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:50,450
S4: "I don't need to work at this point. I do

20
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:53,600
S4: it because I'm deeply driven by the mission."

21
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:56,440
S1: And more... about the way they see the world:

22
00:00:56,450 --> 00:01:00,230
S5: "You know, I weep for the amount of anger I

23
00:01:00,230 --> 00:01:02,420
S5: feel among other men,"

24
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:04,140
S1: ...and how they hope to change it:

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,580
S6: "We are connected to the problem and therefore connected to

26
00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:08,540
S6: the solution."

27
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:10,610
S1: This is a show that makes sense of our world

28
00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:13,250
S1: by going deep with the people who affect our lives

29
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:14,090
S1: the most.
