Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Jojo, a young German boy living in the midst of WWII, is faced with a dilemma when he discovers that his mother is protecting a young Jewish girl in their attic. His entire worldview is put into question; should he hold onto the blind, unyielding worldview that his country has instilled within him since birth or should he dismantle it and start anew? Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit serves as a modern day satire and forewarning against fascism and blind nationalism, where the story depicts how messages of hate and intolerance can take root and thrive in the most fertile grounds of consciousness: fear. We are joined by a very special guest and friend of the show, Abi, and we hope you listen in and enjoy our discussion on this compelling and fresh tale, where acceptance, compassion, and understanding are of the utmost importance.
