Borgen on Greenland (#6)

from Political Fictions: political drama on screen and on the page · host Cory Hazlehurst / Mark Pack

Mark and Cory talk about Scandi Ballot Box dramas for the first time. They discuss the Borgen episode in which there are revelations about how Greenland is being used for CIA rendition programmes. They talk about whether photogenic politicians giving inspirational speeches is all that’s needed to solve the world’s problems, the difficulty of writing political fictions with Donald Trump in the White House, and Mark gets even more excited about a door than usual. The Borgen IMDb page is here and we discuss the fourth episode of series one. Cory’s email newsletter is Paperback Rioter and Mark has a family of email newsletters.
