Tuesday, May 17th - 9:00pm Episode Title:
Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo Beginning in the modern-day and working backward, “Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo” explores the history of Japan’s love affair with bugs. Using insects like an anthropologist’s toolkit, the film uncovers Japanese philosophies that will shift viewers’ perspectives on nature, beauty and life, and counter the exigencies of day-to-day life.
