This week, Hannah sheds light on the fateful night that Christine and Lea Papin savagely murdered their employer and her daughter in a fit of rage. Was it classism pushed to its limit? A bizarre mental illness bred from a life of isolation and trauma? Pure and simple retaliation? All of the above? This grizzly story inspired the Academy Award winning movie, Parasite, and highlights not only the devastating effects of childhood abuse and disfunctionality, but also the festering resentment of the working class in the 1930's, and what happens when it comes bubbling to the surface at the wrong time.
Pour a drink, and hold onto your eyeballs (seriously).
