Selma to the 13th (both Oscar-nominated) to her diverse take on A Wrinkle in Time, and more recently to her fictionalized drama on the life of basketball player/activist Colin Kaepernick, Colin in Black and White, DuVernay insists on making entertainment that matters.DuVernay recently got into the unscripted business, but her new project for Peacock — Home Sweet Home — is a far cry from bachelors and housewives.
The series, which premiered last month, features very different families swapping lives and homes for a few days; learning their routines, customs, joys, and sorrows.
The show is not about conflict, but understanding. Home Sweet Home’s first episode featured a Black, queer, women-led household exchanging homes with a Greek-American.
