What Is Celebrity Good For? | By Any Means

Alana Hadid is a Palestinian-Irish activist, producer, and proud class traitor. We talk about what celebrity is actually good for, whether cultural influence can be turned into political power, and why simply being loud about Palestine in spaces that would rather forget it exists can itself be a form of struggle. Alana gets into the limits of celebrity activism, the work happening behind the scenes, becoming disillusioned with American politics, anti-capitalism, and why every person who takes a risk makes it a little easier for the next one. And eventually we arrive at the most important political theory of all: get the fuck off your couch and do something.
