#392 - Rising Expectations

Published: Jan. 8, 2023, 10:44 p.m.

b'Filmed in the aftermath of the 1970 "October Crisis" that brought martial law to Canada, Gilles Groulx\'s radical documentary 24 HOURS OR MORE (1973) takes a disapproving look at life in Quebec under capitalism during a moment when the postwar economic boom was receding. It\'s the kind of movie that isn\'t made anymore: a movie that questions the very premises on which society is built.\\n\\nWatch the movie for free: https://www.nfb.ca/film/24_hours_or_more/\\n\\nJoin us on Patreon for an extra episode every week: https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus'
