A tale of two Dilwale's: Mateo and Bipasha move through the phenomena of Bollywood cinema and its grasp on broader subcontinental culture. Specifically, a classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and it's less-regarded not-so-classic Dilwale (2015), both starring the inimitable SRK and Kajol.

They trace their relationships with growing up with Bollywood cinema, recount watching these films five hours back to back; and reflect on the depths and contradictions of these cultural outputs.

Facing the question of the body no longer being a productive vessel for capitalism, Dakota’s artistic and activist work seeks to find the pleasure and possibilities of embodied liberation.

#162 Found family: meet our new voices

"The people’s blood won’t stain our hands" - the words decried from a recent direct action in Athens where the port workers took industrial action to stop the shipment of Israeli arms. This is an example of a way we can boycott, divest and sanction in our everyday lives.

We're joined by staunch, third-generation Palestinian organiser and advocate Rand Khatib to take us through the legacy of resistance in her blood, and the power of collective action through BDS actions that Palestinians have long-called for. Every day, there are non-violent, material ways we can commit to the end of occupation.

We also also hear from those in our local community practicing BDS and what their experiences of learning this, have been.

Join us: BDS actions is so-called Australia
