Next up is the acclaimed HBO miniseries Chernobyl! I've talked about the work of Ulrich Beck in a few other videos of mine, but I never actually discussed his main thesis - the 'risk society' - directly. The main reason being that I'd never watched a film or series that really captured its essence, up until now. In my opinion, Chernobyl is a fantastic and unique series that, when analyzed through the lens of Beck's risk society, reveals a story that is very much about the present; about the risks that are increasingly permeating our modern society, and the consequences they have for our culture, our politics, and our spirit, all of which I'm excited to explore in my next video.
