Ep. 95 - Capernaum (2018) with featured guest: Omar Haj Ibrahim

In this episode of The Strategic Whimsy Experiment, Jen and Sarah review Nadine Labaki’s Capernaum. Joined by special guest, Omar, they discuss the heart-breaking stories the film follows and how these experiences are not unique to the streets of Lebanon. They also comment on how the events of today shape what we take away from a film. And, like the filmmaker, they find hope in the fact that we can do more than raise awareness with our actions.

What did you think of Capernaum? How has your view of the film changed in light of current events?

As mentioned in the outro, if you would like to support Omar’s work bringing much-needed food and clothing to his communities in Syria, his Venmo is @Omar-Alhajibrahim.
