This insightful film delves into the revolutionary governance system in Rojava (Northeast Syria), where diverse communities—Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, and others—have adopted a unique model of democratic confederalism in line with sociocracy and neighborocracy. It explores how power is decentralized to neighborhood communes, enabling direct, consent-based decision-making that empowers locals to address their own needs amid civil war and external threats, while emphasizing women's liberation, ecology, and grassroots democracy. The documentary highlights the practical implementation of these structures, turning challenges into opportunities for a more egalitarian society.Drawing from recent discussions on Rojava's women's revolution and its resilience against attacks, this screening offers a timely look at self-determination, international solidarity, and the future of radical democracy in the region.
