"The Climate Crisis is a Comedy" Interview with Sam Knights

This week on the show we are joined by actor, writer and environmental activist Sam Knights.  We learn about the early heady days of Extinction rebellion, the struggles of democracy in movements, how art and politics feed into each other, and the emotional richness that can be found.  We also look ahead at the fight to come in 2022 and the pitfalls of Adam Mckay's latest film, Don't Look Up.  LinksThe Time to Act is Now, by Carola Rackete https://www.rosalux.de/en/publication/id/45396/the-time-to-act-is-nowArchive of Chartist poetry http://www.our-chartist-heritage.co.uk/category/chartists/poems/Don't Look Up Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbIxYm3mKzIShout outsSam's flat mate for the support during his Covid-19 isolationCarola Rackete@CaroRackete If you like the show tell your comrades!Find us on:Twitter: @MCRGND_PODInsta: mcrgndpodFB: MCRGNDPODOr if you'd prefer to give a one off donation we also have a PayPalpaypal.me/mcrngndpod Support the show
