Synopsis
Framed through a letter to the Marxist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg, RESISTERS is a celebration of Berlin's 100 years of resistance to fascism and a call to action against nationalism. Taking a two-fold journey through Berlin, a geographical one and a psychic one, Daniels Jewish flaneuse reflects on Berlin's turbulent history of revolution and resistance to fascism, and the dangerous growth of the nationalist AfD who became the main opposition party in the German parliament in 2017. Resisters follows the activities of the Omas Gegen Rechts (Grandmothers against the Right) who organise to fight the nationalist AfD which in 2017 became the strongest opposition party in the German Parliament. In poetic vignettes Daniels' voice, over slow-motion shots of streets and parks recounts the stories of resisters to fascism before and during the Third Reich. The fictionalised re-imagining of herself as witness to resistance brings into the light what may be still repressed and hidden.
