BONUS CHAT: Is Nausicaä a Solarpunk Film? (youtu.be)

In this bonus chat, Ariel and Christina talk about the 1984 Studio Ghibli film - and solarpunk inspo par excellence - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Does the film live up to its significant reputation and deserve its cred? Is Nausicaä a solarpunk role model, or is this more of a princess-on-a-mission-style of legend? Tune in as we discuss this and more!

Classic story formats in general are maybe not very solarpunk as solarpunk as a literary genre explicitly positions itself against story tropes like "heroes journey" etc. So that disqualifies a lot of classic works that were not written with that in mind, even though they might otherwise have a lot of overlap.
