The Anarchist
The Anarchist is a feature film. directed by Philip Cartelli.
Synopsis
Five people are connected through an apocryphal story: a decade ago, a group of anarchists from the U.S. stole Leon Trotsky’s ashes from their resting place in Mexico. This central narrative is articulated through those of a Mexican activist lawyer, a Greek professional couple, a Tunisian journalist and a Kurdish student. Each has some connection to international networks of solidarity and activism, which, for some, are now in the past. Filmed in New York, Marseille, and Athens, their separate recollections converge in a portrait of the tensions between the personal and the political today.
