LOVECRAFT COUNTRY AND THE SWALLOWS OF KABUL

In 1950’s America, the Jim Crow South is a hellscape of tentacled beasts and filrthy rich occult obesessed honky’s trying to open gateways to other dimensions. Produced by Jordan Peele (Get Out & Us) and JJ Abrams, it’s a nod to the pulpy anthology science fiction shows of that period, as well as a clever reappraisal of the inherent racism and white supremacy that exists in the literary works by giants of the pulp sci fi genre such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and HP Lovecraft.

The Swallows of Kabul is a beautifully animated, heart wrenching tale of two couples living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, in the late 90’s.
