When It Clicked Season 2 (Official Trailer) Dec 03, 2025

The American justice system punishes millions of people every year. That’s what we expect it to do – punish wrongdoing. That’s what we call justice. But what if it could do something more, something that would make this country better, stronger, and safer? In Season 2 of When It Clicked, host Ana Zamora sits down with a surprising mix of leaders and experts who are showing what a better, more productive justice system actually looks and feels like – from how to handle kids who commit crimes, to how new technology can change outcomes in prison. This season, you’ll see how making key changes to how we do justice in America actually benefits all of us.
