Passion Project: Discomfort Zone 

Nude movie screenings might sound perverse, but this one-of-a-kind experience has been selling out Melbourne cinemas. It's just one of the hyper niche interests we're exploring in this week's episode of Passion Projects — our new series about outliers, trailblazers, and the pastimes they love. 

This episode features reporting by Lachie Carroll, Cathy Yee, Mia Leys, Cassia Cunningham, and Rachel Ferro.

Passion Project: Outliers 

Today, we’re sharing a talk from Pulitzer Prize-winning war journalist Chris Hedges, who believes the Western media is complicit in the Gaza genocide. 

Chris spent two decades covering war zones in places like Iraq, Sarajevo, and Gaza. He’s also the author of more than a dozen books. His most recent is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine. 

In front of a live audience at the University of Melbourne, he discussed his wide-ranging career, the history of Israeli violence, and how the media manufactures consent for atrocities.
