Marlon Brando discusses his views on mankind ; part 2

BROADCAST: Apr. 19, 1963 | DURATION: 00:32:19

Synopsis

Content Warning: This conversation includes racially and/or culturally derogatory language and/or negative depictions of Black and Indigenous people of color, women, and LGBTQI+ individuals. Rather than remove this content, we present it in the context of twentieth-century social history to acknowledge and learn from its impact and to inspire awareness and discussion. In a surprising twist, Marlon Brando asks Studs Terkel why he is so obsessed with asking people so many questions and Terkel’s reply was curiosity. Brando commented that the world is full of atomic bombs and the uncensored life of a politician is a dangerous one. Brando also talks about the meaning of life.
