How do you contend for what you believe in, even when the odds are stacked against you? Joseph leads us through the film 300, the next entry in our 'Authenticity' series. We discuss how a film like 300 can be so beloved across diverse contexts such as schools, churches, addiction recovery, and Narrative Therapy. We also weed out fact versus fiction in its depiction of Spartan history, and debate whether Zack Snyder is actually a good director.
