Cuties, Corporate Pedophilia and Consent.

CW for this episode: discussion of pedophilia, corporporate pedophila, sexualisation of children and Islamophobia. We haven't gone into specifics or details, but please take care of yourself if you have been effected by these issues. 

Sorry for the accidental week off ... some minor tech issues but we are back discussing the film Cuties (Mignonnes) by Maïmouna Doucouré, a coming of age story centering Amy, a French Senegalese Muslim 11 year old girl. The film has been wildly critised for promoting child pornography, and the Muslim community has expressed concerns that the film can be weaponised to promote Islamophobia. 

Do Leah and Dani agree? Were they deeply uncomfortable with the cinematography? Did they even like the film? You'll have to listen to find out. 

They also discuss corporate pedophilia, and some ways we can reduce the risk of hypersexualisation of children.
