Fresh Air

Filmmaker and rapper Boots Riley explores the intersection of art and systemic critique through his new film *I Love Boosters*, which examines the role of shoplifters in providing essential goods to marginalized communities. Riley maintains that art serves as a tool to expose the contradictions inherent in capitalism. Actor Will Sharpe discusses his approach to portraying Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, focusing on the character's struggle to communicate through music rather than social norms, alongside his collaborative work on *Too Much* and *A Real Pain*. Additionally, TV critic David Bianculli reflects on the legacy of David Attenborough, noting how his pioneering natural history series, such as *Life on Earth*, fundamentally shifted public understanding of the natural world and humanity's dependency upon it.
