A short preview of our Patreon exclusive content

 

Our April film club episode is a discussion of the beautiful and nuanced film that was the catalyst for the launch of Studio Ghibli. 

We talk about the film's influence and the influences upon it, including a real life environmental disaster arising from Japanese post-War policy;  how three major religions (and their political history in Japan) feed into the specifics of the environmental message; the atom bomb; the individual vs the collective; why there are no telephones in Nausicaä's world; and more.
