Join Phi Theta Kappa for a free screening of Mickey Mouse Monopoly: Disney, Childhood and Corporate Power at 6 p.m. Friday, June 2, in T-102!
Part of PTK’s International Film Festival, the screening of the film is free and open to the public.
This documentary (52 minutes) takes a critical look at the power and global reach of the Magic Kingdom. How is Disney shaping the experience of childhood around the globe? What are the consequences of one company dominating the images, toys, vacations and aspirations of children from diverse cultures? Cultural critics in this film raise important questions about Disney’s unchecked influence and the company’s history with issues of gender and diversity.
