17. Zeitgeist part 3: The hunger games - stop the manipulation
Episode 17
Published 4 years, 3 months ago
Description
The hunger games. Setting people off against each other so that they fight each other rather than the system. Cleaver, manipulative, brutal, dystopian. Possibly more of a reflection of the times than we care to admit. Katniss Everdeen or Jennifer Lawrence gives The illusion that its about female power, the reality that its a tiny turn of the dial on a pretty standard format.
This is the third podcast episode on the zeitgeist as the 24 women on the expedition begin their exploring. Sarah and Paula draw the parallels between the hunger games and the systems that we are either operating within or just observing, but either way that we are part of. Then they give their advice on how to survive or change them.
