Humans Hunting Humans: Punishment Park (1971) & Turkey Shoot (1982)

from Politics of Cinema

The idea of Humans Hunting Humans has been a story told through film since The Most Dangerous Game back in 1932. There is something about this kind of story that lends itself to a variety of social and political metaphors.  Here we take a look at two films from two countries that have virtaually the same plot synopsis, but couldn't be farther apart in execution and their politics. Punishment Park (1971) from the United States and Turkey Shoot (1982) from Australia.  Follow us at: Patreon / Twitter / Instagram / Letterboxd / Facebook
