Antifa – The Film

“How bad does it have to be before you fight back? Because if we agree it was fine to fight the Nazis in WW2, what about when they had just gained power? What about when they were an ascendant fascist political force or what about, as antifascists argue, when they were just starting out, when it would have been easier to stop their movement…”

Through interviews with anti-fascist organizers, historians, and political theorists in the US and Germany, the 30 minute 2017 US documentary ‘Antifa – The Film’ discusses what fascism is and also explores the broader meaning of ‘Antifa’; it takes the viewer to the scenes of US street battles, including Charlottesville 2017.

The film will be followed by a discussion on opposing the rise of the far right in Aotearoa New Zealand.
