Episode description

We take certain fundamental rights for granted, but who got to define them and are they enough? You'll find solidarity in these stories of baroners and commoners from filmmaker, writer, political organiser, sometime rock musician  and self-described 'feral intellectual' Astra Taylor. In this year's thought-provoking CBC Massey lectures, Astra explores how our society runs on 'manufactured insecurity' — and how we can challenge that.
