An Insignificant Man
The spectacular rise of the Common Man’s Party. The party logo, a broom, symbolizes their battle against the political establishment in India.
More infoIn a time when “social distancing” is the motto, we are all discovering that "solidarity" should be the word. We need to maintain physical distance from one another now, but we will not overcome this crisis as individuals. We need our open understanding of humanity as a whole. For this reason, we have put together this program of films from our online collection. We invite you to spend a moment thinking about the many forms of distancing that we created before—between peoples, families, nations, and classes—and to make sure we keep our sights on the essence of being human. We are distancing, but we are not alone. Distancing might have been our biggest problem in the first place, and now, we have to fight fire with fire. Please note that some films are available to stream within the Netherlands only.
