Michael and Us: What's Left?

The 1969 documentary WHAT'S LEFT? captures the Canadian left (and more specifically, Canada's New Democratic Party) being pulled in two directions: by an emerging, student-led generation of radical activists, and an older political class that has either grown pragmatic or complacent depending on who you ask. We discuss the history of the Canadian left, and what has both changed and remained the same in the 50+ years since the film. PLUS: We catch an acute case of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them fever!!!Watch the documentary What's Left? here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRzNoaEw3xMMichael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
