Gone with the Wind is one of the most popular films of all time and Sarah Churchwell, the brilliant academic and writer, is using the story to help explain the divisions ripping the United States apart today. Separating fact from fiction, she shows how histories of mythmaking have informed America's racial and gender politics, the controversies over Confederate statues, the resurgence of white nationalism, the Black Lives Matter movement, the enduring power of the American Dream, and the violence of Trumpism.

Joining her to discuss this issue will be the eminent playwright and novelist, Bonnie Greer.
