Ep. 65 - Z (1969)

This week we cover the only Algerian winner of the Best Foreign Film Oscar and one of the most scathing indictments of nationalism and fascism ever put to film. We're talking Z (#3 on the board), the not so veiled political allegory by Greek filmmaker Costa-Gavras. This one is well worth a watch leading up to the 2024 election as a great reminder of how fragile the line between freedom and tyranny can be.
