Women’s Revolution – “Şoreşa Jin” (23mins, 2020)

Kongreya Star was founded in 2005 and originally called Yekîtîya Star. Under the fierce oppression of Bashar Al Assad’s Ba’th regime, women in towns and villages across the northern areas of Syria began to come together and organize themselves, creating a strong basis for the confederated women’s movement. Kongreya Star plays an active role in organizing women across all areas of life: education, culture and arts, economics, self-defense, social affairs, problem-solving and justice, politics, local government, ecology, press, media and international relations.

We Are Now (Crimethinc., 2021, 22mins)

At the high point of the George Floyd Rebellion, cop-free zones sprung up from coast to coast. As they were unfolding, Atlanta police killed Rayshard Brooks, a black father of four.
