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. The conversation continues with Studs talking to the group about their futures. They say they're happiest when playing their music. Although some of their fathers played a role in Hitler's party, the group does not feel they are responsible for their fathers' actions. As for politics, they don't believe there's much they can do about anything because according to them, the politicians control everything.
