Anarchist Movie Nite with Nate presents “Libertarias” (Freedom Fighters)

The film takes us to 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, where Maria the protagonist, a nun, gets recruited by Pilar, a militant feminist to join a women’s anarchist militia. Pilar guides Maria through the realities of a revolutionary war and forces Maria to reflect on her past life which was devoted to religious tenets.

At the same time Libertarias explores the complexity and struggle the militia has in establishing   relationships and credibility with other revolutionary groups, who don’t share their radical values.

Nathan Moss (He/Him) is a long time Victoria Anarchist BookFair Collective member who identifies as a disabled Jewish anarchist, who believes that one of the keys to attain a global revolutionary victory is encouraging his comrades to create healthy,trusting functional relationships with each other, that can tame egos and withstand inevitable conflicts, so that the collective doesn’t lose sight of its desired outcome. “We don’t all have to be friends or like each other all the time but we each have to know that no matter what in times of struggle, we have each other’s and those we sit/stand in solidarity with backs in all situations.”  “That only comes with knowing each other in different social settings,spaces and environments over time.”

“The Festival of Anarchy provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
