On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What if a century-old photograph could rewrite your family history? In this deeply personal episode, host Jeremy Swick speaks with South African actor Lungi Pinda about an extraordinary digital discovery: a picture of Lungi’s great-grandfather, Livingstone Mzimba, an African theology student and American football player at Lincoln University in the early 1900s. Their transcontinental connection began with a LinkedIn post and unfolded into a journey of reconnection, ancestry, and untold legacy.
From suppressed stories under apartheid to generational shifts in purpose—from medicine to the arts—Lungi’s reflections reveal the soul-deep importance of knowing where we come from. You’ll walk away seeing heritage, history, and identity in a completely new light.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
