In a world where men are monsters and monsters are men - who is the real monster? Covering the books, the best-selling video game series, and the popular Netflix show, this panel will dig deep into the psychology of the characters and stories of The Witcher franchise. The panellists will talk about the psychology behind what makes this fandom so captivating and answer the question why, in The Continent filled with magic, we find ourselves and our lives reflected within it.
