The latest presentation from Haringey Independent Cinema,

On THURSDAY 1st March our next film, is definitely an interesting subject. CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION is a documentary on the lives of two children (now women) who grew up in the shadow of their mothers who were armed revolutionaries. But, this is not the story of revolution or revolutionaries - it's about how it affects children who have no option than to be part of it. It looks at the difficult subject of armed revolution through totally different set of eyes and perspectives.

This film is our contribution to International Women's Day.
The director - Shane O'Sullivan has agreed to come along and speak at the film night.

Children of the Revolution
Ireland/UK/Germany, 2011
88 minutes

Protest is when I say I don't like this. Resistance is when I stop what I don't like.

Inspired by the student revolutions of 1968, Ulrike Meinhof and Fusako Shigenobu became the leading revolutionaries of their time, as leaders of the Baader Meinhof Group and the Japanese Red Army. Appalled by the killing in Vietnam, they worked with Palestinian freedom fighters to overthrow capitalism through world revolution.

Packed with extraordinary archive footage, the film sees journalists Bettina Röhl and May Higenobu explore the lives of their mothers, Ulrike and Fusako, giving us a unique perspective on two of the most notorious  terrorists in modern history.

With capitalism in crisis and revolution sweeping the Arab world, we look back and ask: what were they fighting for and what have we learned?
