Marxism Today (prologue)

Marxism Today (prologue) is a documentary that examines the fortunes of Marxist-Leninist educators from the former Communist East Germany. This film combines contemporary interviews with these ex-teachers and archival material, creating a critical look at the influence of Marxist economic analysis on current generations. The project, initiated in Manchester, explores the city's historical significance in radical thought, stemming from Engels' writings.

The film prompts discussions about the continuing relevance of Marxist concepts today. By engaging with local schools and the community, it seeks to encourage a deeper understanding of socio-political dynamics and challenges faced in modern society. As part of an ongoing project, it aims to connect historical perspectives with contemporary discussions around Marxism and its implications for today's students and educators.
