Polytechnique (2009)

In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by return guest and host of the hot new podcast Cinenauts, Ctcher. We cover Denis Venilleuve’s first feature film, Polytechnique. This powerful drama about a 1989 school shooting, led us to have a very real conversation about the dangers of isolation and delusion, the barriers to economic and gender equality, but hopefully to still have a few laughs along the way.
