Out of Eden: Barbie and Ken - a theological exploration

Harris Bor 

Red 4

The recent Barbie film is a fun comment on our modern malaise, but also a midrash (commentary) on Genesis. It’s all in there: the desire for knowledge, failed ideologies, growing up, meeting our maker, gender, love, sex and death. Join me for a deep yet jovial dive into this colourful, chaotic film, what it says about Genesis, and what the film and Genesis might say to us.
