The Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is as popular as he is controversial. Some embrace his life lessons and his ideas about feminism and identity politics, yet others are infuriated. How can we explain the rise of Jordan Peterson? Why are his ideas so controversial? Come watch the documentary Shut Him Down: The Rise of Jordan Peterson and listen to clinical psychologist Jan Derksen and philosopher Katrine Smiet, who will discuss why Peterson sparks such strong reactions on both sides of the spectrum.
