This is an episode of Inside the Tent, a podcast going behind the scenes of Campside’s award winning shows.
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green.
Through first-person accounts, original reporting, and dramatized scenes, Ben Austen and Harrison David Rivers tell the story of Dantrell Davis and his mother Annette Freeman – while at the same time exploring how Cabrini-Green’s rise and fall changed the course of American public housing.
Ashleyanne and Ben discuss the ambitious blend of fiction and non-fiction that transports listeners back to The Last Days of Cabrini-Green.
They also reflect on a visit to freezing Chicago to spend time with Annette and what the show says about the city itself.
