Horror Movies and Protests with Allison Barr

About this episode

Allison Barr discusses the intersection of horror movies and protest coverage.

A riot shield inches from your face, a red smoke bomb turning downtown into a dystopian film set, and a photojournalist who swears protest coverage sometimes feels like directing an A24 horror flick instead of shooting the news.
