Oppenheimer Through a Feminist Lens

Ashley and Mariquita sit down to discuss the film, Oppenheimer. In this dynamic discussion, they explore the profound themes of mental anguish, the complex portrayal of women, the impact of patriotism, and engage in critical conversations about the lasting repercussions on Latinx, Native American residents in Los Alamos, and the Japanese community due to the devastating events surrounding the atomic bomb. This segment promises an eye-opening feminist perspective on a recently released film.
