Show Notes
This week, we welcome guest host Jennifer Proctor, filmmaker and Associate Professor of Journalism and Screen Studies at University of Michigan-Dearborn, for a robust discussion of the new documentary#FemalePleasure?and its examination of female agency in the modern world. Following that group review, we play Chris?s interview with director Pia Hellenthal and writer Giorgia Malatrasi, co-creators of Searching Eva, a highly stylized portrait of feminist intellectual and sex worker Eva Coll?. Join us as we follow women forging their own paths, patriarchy be damned.
