Episode description
This controversial film, released in 2024, received great critical reviews and garnered two Oscar Nominations. The film is important because it demonstrates that one can still have an artistic voice without creating art that is actually propaganda, catering to an audience for likes. It also benefits from the director being foreign to the nation, providing a different perspective.
Filmmaker Commentary Hosted by Reginald Titus Jr.
