What do movies teach us about fascism?From propagandistic myths of power to stories of suffering and belonging, cinema has long chronicled the many faces of fascism. Films don’t just reflect history or envision the future; they help shape it, revealing how authoritarian movements seduce, normalize, and endure, and at what cost to our humanity.Fascism on Film Podcast explores these connections one episode at a time. Each season (10–15 episodes) tackles a different facet of fascism on screen. Season 1 looks at pre‑war fascism, examining both notorious propaganda and lesser‑known works of resistance.Hosted by writers and lifelong cinephiles James Kent and Teal Minton, the show blends sharp analysis with decades of shared filmgoing experience to uncover how art, ideology, and history intertwine.Music courtesy www.classicals.de.
