Politics of Cinema

by

Films are cultural artifacts. There is a political and artistic message in every one and we’re here to document. On each episode we pick a film; sometimes current and sometimes from the riches of world cinema’s 100+ year history, and take a deep dive into what the film is really saying about the world. Both overtly and covertly.
