This video explores the plague; how pandemic outbreaks birthed the monsters and demons of our myths and legends, and how its impact is still prevalent in our everyday consumption of modern pop culture.
On fatal diseases, dragons, vampires, zombies and somehow I managed to squeeze Albert Camus into this again.
