93 - Akira Kurosawa's I Live in Fear with Megan Linton
🕑 Added 2022-11-11 07:01:00 +0000 UTCWriter, researcher, and fellow podcaster from Invisible Institutions (also on the Harbinger Media Network,) Megan Linton joins me for this discussion on collective anxiety in the age of COVID, disability and institutionalization, and the masterful direction of Akira Kurosawa in this story of an elderly foundry owner facing the threat of conservatorship over his fear of another atomic attack on Japan in the aftermath of the Second World War.
