	TALK\n\nFor this edition of Fight the Power\, we are screening Aaron Schim
	berg’s Chained\nfor Life (2018)\, a darkly comic film about representation
	\, authorship and who\ngets to shape the stories cinema tells about us. Fr
	om the characters we see on\nscreen to the people behind the camera\, repr

	develops both on and off screen\,\nthe boundaries between the film being m
	ade and the world around it begin to\nblur. With surreal humour and an unc
