Back on February 10, Lizzy also tweeted that the fifth episode of “Switched at Birth” Season 5 is possibly one of their most ambitious and out-of-the-box episode to date.
Weiss stated earlier that the same episode was the most difficult to put a title to, but she eventually came out later to announce on the social media site that the fifth episode of the upcoming fifth season shall have the title “Occupy Truth.”
Apparently, the episode will stick to the show’s goal of addressing social issues and it shall focus on campus racism.
The episode will begin with a student going to a costume party as Li’L Wayne. The black American students will get offended and take it as a form of racism. The same incident will cause the African-American group to protest.
In a recent interview, Weiss said that they are trying to present the issue and the viewpoints of both groups in the most accurate and honest way possible. Weiss also added that the topic is a sensitive one but such situations happen in real life.
She refers to such incidents on campus as micro-aggressions which are small things on a daily basis that students of color experience and usually swallow.
OMG I have waited for such a long time for season five now i have to wait until 2017 this is messed up
Oh man, you’re kidding, right? This has to be a joke, a very cruel joke. :( But I really like this show a lot.
Switched at Birth is my favourite show. I watched it when it first came out and I have rewatched the series many times on netflix. It is very upsetting that I now have to wait until 2017 just for a finial 10-20 episodes. :(
The best show on and you have to cancel it! Why not take off some of those other shows that suck and leave Switched At Birth alone!
