The Pinky Show examines power, structure and agency with respect to where we are located within the global system of injustice as well as how our values and behaviour perpetuate it. Essentially targeted at middle class audiences in the first world, this episode of the Pinky Show makes essential viewing for privileged people all over the world.
The beauty of the Pinky Show lies in its ability to deconstruct complex issues with measured simplicity that is, at the same time, hugely entertaining.
In vintage Pinky style, this episode deconstructs the convoluted social construct "class," posing questions that are as extraordinary in their simplicity as they are in their insightfulness.
Look out for an excellent critique of academia in parts four and five of this episode.
