S1: I'm Charlotte Alter and this is Person of the Week –
S1: a new show from TIME about the people who shape
S1: our world and the forces that shape them.
S1: As a Senior Correspondent for TIME, I've covered political campaigns,
S1: national protests, new technologies, and more.
S1: I've talked to thousands of people – and if there's one
S1: thing I've learned, it's that to understand our world, you
S1: need to understand the people who influence it.
S1: So, this summer, I'll be having more conversations with the
S1: humans behind the headlines. A lot more.
S1: And I'm bringing them to you firsthand.
S1: You'll hear from lawmakers:
S2: "Florida's really a case study in the difference between politics
S2: and policy."
S3: Artists:
S3: "I do know film and I do know actors. You
S3: start building on what you do know."
S1: Business leaders:
S4: "I don't need to work at this point. I do
S4: it because I'm deeply driven by the mission."
S1: And more... about the way they see the world:
S5: "You know, I weep for the amount of anger I
S5: feel among other men,"
S1: ...and how they hope to change it:
S6: "We are connected to the problem and therefore connected to
S6: the solution."
S1: This is a show that makes sense of our world
S1: by going deep with the people who affect our lives
S1: the most.
