CW/TW: child sexual abuse.

In anticipation of the Popaganda season 2 launch on April 22nd, cohosts Shannon Perez-Darby and Tashmica Torok reconnect to discuss the original HBO documentary, Great Photo, Lovely Life. This poignant film follows Photojournalist Amanda Mustard as she investigates her ‘touchy-feely grandpa’ and his role in decades of serial sexual abuse through archival photos, home videos, and interviews with the children he harmed and the bystanders who were tricked into believing that everything was fine.

Listen in as two lifelong survivor activists consider how turning towards the violence we experience in our families could give us our best chance at understanding, confronting, and ending child sexual abuse.

Shannon and Tashmica give this documentary the highest of trigger warnings. We encourage you to download and listen with care.

#QOTD: “Part of what's gonna change the culture that leads to child sexual abuse is that we have to turn and face it. We have to shine the light on what's happening. And I would prefer folks [to] do that in this stumbling, imperfect way than to feel like you have to be an expert.” - Shannon Perez-Darby

Content Warning: The Popaganda Podcast explores the intersections of transformative justice, prison abolition, and pop culture. We will be talking in general about the existence of domestic violence, sexual violence, and state violence and our experiences with these forms of violence throughout the season. In this episode in particular, we will be talking about these themes and our own survivorship. We will not be talking in high levels of detail about specific experiences of violence. We invite everyone to use this information to make choices about what is right for you.
