Williams to unpack the elements of more than 250 “great” movies to gain insights and secrets that will change the way you view films.

Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development.

The situation we face today is not economic, environmental, political or sociological. Instead, it is a crisis of leadership at the most...
