Description

In this episode, Molly and Elizabeth discuss the 2017 film Dunkirk in relation to the myth that World War 2 is a Good War for the West. They frame the Dunkirk evacuation as a romanticized rescue mission where the goal is to get away from the Germans, while acknowledging the film's complex portrayal of the civilian sea rescue and soldiers' suffering.
