Encanto and recent documentaries

An animated film that is culturally rooted in the Latin American literary tradition of "magical realism," "Encanto" tells the endearing story of a girl who is the only member of her family not possessing supernatural powers. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss this family-friendly film, which has an engaging protagonist, eye-popping colors and, yes, a genuine sense of magic. Switching gears, Marie and Mike also talk about two new documentary films. One is about the telegenic cooking show host Julia Child and the other is about author C.S. Lewis.
