With 2023 on the calendar this month, a new cyclical start is a good time to dive into history to remind us how things have changed and what hasn’t changed and in social relationships to remind us of how things can (and sometimes, maybe they can’t) change. Streaming on Hulu this month, these seven films explore the potential for people to make a mess, come together, and chart different stories and progress in individual and collective lives. This month, let’s figure out what actions - and stasis - to take.
