We talk about the incredible film adaptation to the early 20th century epic poem Aniara. Pretty depressing stuff, but we refuse to be doomers.

Discussion topics:

- Why are the people who cause calamity in charge of fixing it?

- Why do we obey?

- Why do we work?

- How do temporary hierarchies become permanent?

- Opium for the masses

- The complicity of scientists
