The Platform (2019): A Hunger for Economic Reform - a podcast by Gabe & Kat

from 2023-05-24T15:00:55

:: ::

The Platform is an unsubtle and disgusting film that confronts our acceptance of our toxic and abusive systems of power. It addresses in a terribly unsubtle way the false promises of trickle-down economics. And more importantly, leaves us with a hope for the future, one in which the children of tomorrow can break the system.
