Former Feds & Friends

Welcome to Former Feds & Friends 🎬✨

We’re former diplomats, development experts, and human rights practitioners using TV, movies, and pop culture to unpack big ideas about democracy, peace, and stability. From Andor to Encanto, we break down what stories get right (and wrong) about authoritarianism, resistance, and community resilience.

Why? Because democracy isn’t just about politics—it’s about how we live together every day. By connecting complex concepts to the shows and films you already love, we help make sense of today’s challenges in a way that’s engaging and relatable.

👉 Shorts on Instagram & TikTok.
👉 Join the conversation in the comments—your insights and questions help shape future episodes.
