A still from ‘And Tomorrow the Entire World’
Writer-director Julia von Heinz’s German political thriller presents an authentic account of contemporary antifa groups, by suitably portraying the non-violent aspects of their resistance
In 2017, historian Mark Bray set out to do something never tried before: he tried to ‘define’ antifa, a movement deeply rooted in the early 1900s as an opposition to the rise of dictatorial leaders like Mussolini and Hitler. In his book,
Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Bray wrote, “The job of the anti-fascist is to make [fascists] too afraid to act publicly and to act as volunteer targets for their hate and attacks, which might keep them from thinking about burning down the mosque in their neighborhood.”
