A film by Vladimir Léon who will introduce the screening

Screening will be followed by a discussion

From Mexico to Russia, from Germany to India, director Vladimir Léon seeks out a revolutionary adventurer from Bengal - M.N. Roy. Founder of a Communist Party in Zapata's Mexico, leader of the Communist International (Comintern) in Soviet Russia alongside Lenin, an anti-Stalin militant and anti-Nazi in pre-war Germany, a politician and atheist philosopher in independent India, Roy personified the struggles of a century on three different continents. However, official history in these countries has preferred to erase his mark. Through direct and indirect accounts, Léon patiently reconstructs the chaotic existence of a free spirit; the film is as much an enquiry as it is a meditation on the obscure course of history
