🗣️ "Reinventing Solidarity" – A Discussion with David Bernet
🎬 David Bernet is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, writer, and director based in Berlin. He studied Comparative Literature and Philosophy before embarking on a career in filmmaking. His documentaries focus on political and social issues, with a deep interest in democracy, resistance, and collective action. His notable films include:
Democracy (2015) – an acclaimed documentary that follows the process of creating data protection laws in the European Union, highlighting the complexities of political decision-making.
Raising Resistance (2011) – a compelling film exploring the struggles of small farmers in Paraguay against the expansion of industrial agriculture.
Bernet’s latest documentary, Solidarity (set to premiere in spring 2025), critically examines both the bright and dark sides of solidarity in modern societies, questioning its role in shaping political movements, social justice, interactions, and grassroots learning initiatives in developing collective consciousness and civic engagement
