Filthy Cities

An Evening with Valerie Jarrett

This film highlights an innovative experiment in democracy that gives ordinary Chicagoans direct say over local public projects and monies. Pioneered in Chicago, participatory budgeting is rapidly spreading across the country, and even the White House recently made it one of its key recommendations for open government.

This series brings to life the murky histories of iconic cities, taking the travelogue in a new direction. Using state-of-the-art computer generated imagery, this special program goes back in time to medieval London, revolutionary Paris, and 19th-century New York.

This special provides a unique inside look at civic leader and businesswoman Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama. Taped at the Art Institute of Chicago and hosted by NPR journalist Michele Norris, the program explores Jarrett’s fascinatingly rich life and career, as well as the legacy of her storied family.
