Popcorn Eschaton 22 - 'Gas Food Lodging' And 'I Am Somebody'

Zebras In America

On this episode of Popcorn Eschaton, Scott and John explore spirituality in protest and in the desert, and the roles women so often take in the service of others. First they discuss 'Gas Food Lodging,' the 1992 film by Allison Anders about a family of women trapped by the limits of their circumstances and how others see them, but who find freedom in themselves and each other. Then they dive into 'I Am Somebody,' the 1970 documentary by Madeline Anderson which explores the courage and indefatigability of the nurses who went on strike for better pay and treatment in the Charleston, South Carolina hospital system.
