TV DOCUMENTARY, VPRO BACKLIGHT, 2015

After the Revolution

Social austerity, housing evictions and bank bail-outs. In recent years similar demands for change have been heard across public squares in Tunis, Kiev, Amsterdam, Cairo, Istanbul and Tel Aviv. In the heat of moment, everything seems possible, but what happens after the demonstrations? Can the widely supported demands be implemented, and how? Through a set of interviews, former activists from Tunis, Tel Aviv and Barcelona share their experiences after the mass mobilisations as they move into institutional politics.

With Ada Colau, Lina Ben Mhenni, Ons Ben Abdelkarim, Stav Shaffir and Carmen Elmakiyes.
