Experiencing Interruptions?

Without Community There is No Liberation

The grassroots film "Without Community There Is No Liberation" documents self-organized anti-racist movements and struggles since German reunification from the perspective of people affected by racism. It collects untold stories, experiences and perspectives of different activists and is enhanced by archive footage. Together with activists* from the Black German Community, refugees, descendants of the "guest worker" generation, a Mapuche activist and other contemporary witnesses, the film showcases self-organization, solidarity and places of resistance in the fight against racism, capitalism and (hetero-)sexism.
English version completed in 2019.

Director Statement

We are a BPoC film collective and see the cinematic documentation as political work in the context of our own activism.
