S3 E1: Film Violence

Join us in the first episode of the new season of Intersections! In this episode, collective members Randi, Serena, Adeline, and Hal discuss violence against women in film, both within the film and behind the scenes in the film industry. We discuss the film industry praising of male directors who abuse actors, the portrayal of violence on screen and its impact on children, historical representations of women in film, and the #MeToo movement's impact on this film culture.
