ABOUT THE MOVIE

This is a contemporary portrayal of anarchist movement activists in Zagreb. The film is told from the perspective of their sympathizer and collaborator who came from the United States. It profiles a group of young people who, after experiencing the collapse of socialism during their childhood, are now fighting for social justice and a new left. Clashing with the police or occupying abandoned factories, they risk everything to live in accordance with their political beliefs. Director Maple Razsa documents their actions — and actively takes part in them — ultimately ending up in prison alongside the activists.
