Show by The Daily Aus

In 2012, we watched a teenage girl volunteer to take her little sister’s place in a fight to the death. Fourteen years later, we’re still talking about The Hunger Games.What started as a young adult novel in 2008 became a multibillion-dollar film franchise. Now, with The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping in cinemas on November 19, we’re heading back to Panem.On today’s podcast, we explain what you need to know about the world of The Hunger Games. We also look at why a story inspired by reality TV and a Greek myth feels more relevant now than ever, and what we’re hoping to see when Haymitch’s story hits the big screen.This episode was made in partnership with Roadshow Films.
