Ep. 316: Anti-Speciesist Theme Anchors Ishmael Reed's "The Shine Challenge, 2024."

THE PETA PODCAST

Playwright, author, and poet Ishmael Reed's new play, "The Shine Challenge, 2024," gives animals a voice in the fight for justice. Shine is a black man said to have survived the Titanic in 1912. But he's accused of sinking the ship and put on trial. Who saves the African American Shine? The animals. Specifically, a polar bear and a shark. It's surreal, satirical, and definitely an anti-speciesist work of art.
