Threads Of A Revolution - When Janet Biehl edited her late partner Murray Bookchin’s approach to participatory politics in the 1970s, she could never have imagined that the social theorist’s work would one day take her half-way across the globe. This film follows Janet on her journey across North East Syria as she explores how Murray’s political theories were adapted to ignite a women-led revolution and bring about remarkable societal transformations. Janet bears witness to the brave and moving stories of every-day people rebuilding their communities after one of the most brutal wars of the region – and the cost and sacrifices required to live in relative freedom.
With the recent fall of Assad, we are now at a crucial moment in Syria's history. The country's future is hanging in the balance and the revolution is in grave danger. This film shines a light on a powerful struggle for gender equality and democracy, imagining what Syria’s future could possibly look like.
Throughout the film, Janet's animated illustrations capture the humanity of ordinary people in their struggle to realize this radical society, whilst the cinematic visual style takes the audience on a journey through a once devastated country which, in many ways, shows life thriving after war.

(2024, 54m, Syria, Directors: Danny Mitchell and Ross Domoney)

Motown South: Organized Labor In the Battery Belt - The electric vehicle industry is booming in the American South; so much so that the region has earned the nickname the “Battery Belt”. But why are producers setting up shop in states such as Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee? In part, the trend stems from a historic lack of union representation here. But workers - and labor organizers - have noticed. And they are starting to push back. How this emerging dynamic plays out could transform the future of American industry. (2025, 20m, Director: Samuel George)
