Michel Foucault: Knowledge and Power at SOAS and beyond

About This Movie

This documentary dives into the profound ideas of Michel Foucault, particularly his notions on Knowledge and Power, and translates them into today's context, especially at SOAS and across social media platforms. It feels like a blend of academic rigor and real-world application, which adds a unique layer to its exploration of Foucault's influence. The pacing is fluid, weaving personal insights from presenters like Merle Tschirschnitz, Kiran Thomas, and Adam Brocklesby with historical context. It's more than just a biopic; it’s a conversation starter that nudges you to think about the power structures in your daily life and how they shape our interactions online.

The film is relatively new, having been released in 2024, and it's likely to be scarce in physical formats for a while. Collector interest might grow as it touches on Foucault's pivotal ideas, especially with the rise of social media discussions. Those who appreciate intellectual documentaries or Foucault's work will find this a fascinating piece to include in their collections.
