"From Gulliver's Travels to Star Trek - Alternative Realities or a Mirror?" by Mona Leiter
Kudos to Mona Leiter for her superb March 25, 2022, Owl & Ibis – A Confluence of Minds multi-media presentation, “From Gulliver’s Travels to Star Trek – Alternate Realities or a Mirror?” A list of links to the videos she showed and her original narrative follow. A veteran presenter at O&I, Mona described this, her most recent effort this way: I really appreciated having the chance to work on this as I covered some of the things that mean the most to me - Star Wars, Star Trek, and Twilight Zone. These movies/shows had a big impact on me and the shaping of who I became. I definitely appreciate the power of story and the ability of speculative fiction to help us reflect on where we have been, where we are, and where we may be headed. – Mona List of Video Links for “From Gulliver’s Travels to Star Trek – Alternate Realities or a Mirror?” 1.
