Fake News & Festivals

Kam Raslan | Bernice Chauly | Umapagan Ampikaipakan

Fake News & Festivals

Three enthralling topics from three big brains, that’s your ABOC standard. This week, Kam decides to open the show by asking our two in-house festival directors (Bernice & Uma) on the complex ins and outs of planning a successful arts festival. Bernice keeps the ball rolling by gushing over Spike Lee’s newest Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It and goes on to discuss the director’s tempestuous Hollywood career. Wrapping things up is Uma who (quite literally) paints a colourful tale on the dangers of false narratives and how we deal with them in this day and age.

Produced by: Ali Johan
