Listen "Enemies of the State - 'Cool Hand Luke' (1967), 'The Conference' (2022) & 'The People vs. Larry Flynt' (1996)"
Episode Synopsis
How does the state treat those who rebel against it? How should we view an oppressive state? What are we actually referring to when we talk about 'the state'? In discussing three films that centre on the relationship between 'rebellious' individuals and the institutions that govern them, this week's episode questions the various attitudes we have toward those in power.
