Hollywood Making and Breaking Culture
Hollywood has the clout to make, break, and cancel cultures. But what happens when Marvel and Disney turn into political cinema? When movies like Black Panther and Wonder Woman make a billion dollars at the box office on the back of apparently progressive racial and gender politics? Is this something entirely new or just Hollywood’s way of cashing in on the next wave of political unease?
Join Bruce as he looks at the emergence of something potentially radical in the Hollywood mainstream: a committed, engaged political cinema for a global mass audience.
