Episode notes

This chapter explores the concept of a police state in The Hunger Games and how it is utilized to maintain control over the districts. It discusses the division of districts based on resources, the living conditions in the districts compared to the opulence in the capital, and the lack of resistance due to the focus on survival. The chapter also analyzes the protagonist's state of depression and her role as a parental figure to her sister.

The only thing more powerful than fear is hope! In this episode we discuss the world of Panem and describe how the fascist regime of President Snow and the capitol have created 74 years of generational trauma on the citizens of the districts. We break down the maladaptive responses of Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch as well as the adjustments to subjugation made by the other citizens of Panem that results in the child soldiers of Districts 1-3. Tune in to find out more and May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor!
