This Movie Saved My Life started in 2020 as a conversation between photographer Miles Fortune and film professor John Trafton about the movies that shaped them. From Star Wars to the French New Wave, from horror deep dives to conversations about foodie films, the show asks one question again and again — why do certain movies stay with us?
