Ep.49: Coloniality and the Matrix Trilogy

This episode seeks to share an understanding of coloniality as a
global system by engaging with the Matrix film series franchise,
focusing on the initial trilogy. The Matrix trilogy is applied as
a metaphor to build critical consciousness of coloniality,
settler-colonialism, and Indigeneity, while also exploring other
social constructions. This compliments an early episode on
modernity and Indigeneity and confronts the world as we know it.
