Patriot Act
Netflix’s Patriot Act was a news-based comedy show hosted by Hasan Minhaj. The show made headlines for calling out racism in government documents and getting banned in Saudi Arabia. As a staff writer, I was responsible for creating weekly episodes, daily social media content, and all promotional material for the show.
