As part of our lections on international liberation movements at the IntimateCinema in GT22, Maribor we hosted two members of the Internationalist Commune of Rojava. Kris and Marlene spent 2,5 and 1 year in the northern part of Syria where the Kurdish liberation movement is organising the multiethnical and multireligous society on the basis of radical democracy and democratic confederalism. They shared their experiences and knowledge on this really important political experiment - that inspired us also a lot, because it opens a real alternative to the neoliberalised democracies in the West.

Moderator: Žiga Brdnik
