In the Future they Ate from the Finest Porcelain

In this commission, Larissa Sansour and Soren Lind's rebel leader from their 2016 film In the Future they Ate from the Finest Porcelain has an extended consultation with her psychiatrist. They speak about myth, counter-myth and mythmaking in the context of nationhood – as the rebel leader or 'narrative terrorist' explains her attempts to counter the narrative advantage of the rulers of an unnamed state to establish a new narrative on behalf of her people.
