Sean Wang's film: A Marble Travelogue, may not seem like it has much to do with the Kurdistan Region on it's surface. The documentary follows China's growing demand for marble, specifically marble sourced from an economically struggling Greece. The film explores the complicated nature of modern globalized capitalism. Different aspects of the industry, including status and worth, labor exploitation and mimicry are all explored and interwoven as the viewer follows the marble's journey from Greece. In this episode, Sean talks about the inspiration for the film, it's cinematic style, and how its themes resonate all over the world- including, of course, in the Kurdistan Region.
