#42: Imitation of Life Plastic Podcast

    • TV & Film

Robert Parks talk about the 1959 film Imitation of Life, a film made a half century ago when America still struggled with racial division, when posing as someone of another race might afford certain advantages, when racially-motivated violence could erupt at a moment's notice, and when people in the privileged class were often blissfully unaware of the social tiers they daily reinforced.
