(en) France, UCL: Anti-imperialism - "The Path to Freedom, " a film about the struggles of the Ukrainian left (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]
Date
Fri, 6 Mar 2026 07:37:49 +0200
Their war is anti-fascist, against the destruction of their rights,
against the plundering, pillaging, and military occupation of their
country by Putin. Feminists, environmentalists, trade unionists,
anarchists, they have chosen active and armed resistance, readily
referring to Nestor Makhno. Not the Makhno portrayed as a patriot by
Ukrainian nationalists, but the internationalist and revolutionary
Makhno he truly was. The documentary film by Pierre Chamechaude and
Christophe Cordier, screening from February 20, 2026, tells the story of
this anti-authoritarian Ukraine that refuses to be silenced.
Their names are Serhii, Alyssa, Salam, Olessia, Lesha, and Katara; They
are Ukrainian, of course, but, like so many other comrades-Russian,
Belarusian, and of other nationalities-they have chosen armed resistance
against Putin.
Ukraine is clearly engaged in a liberation struggle against Russian
imperialism and logically draws upon figures from its recent history to
resonate with its current situation. Among these figures, Nestor Makhno
occupies a unique place. A little over a century ago, he fought against
two Russian imperialisms: that of the Tsarist armies and that of the
Bolshevik armies.
In this current atrocious war, the question of a solution that liberates
the Ukrainian people from the yoke of their neighbor and from
neoliberalism, whose devastating effects are well known, is also at
stake. What is at stake in this conflict is not only the military
question of territorial control but also that of a genuine attempt at
emancipation for the Ukrainian people from all forms of oppression.
Preview screening on February 20 in Paris
Friday, February 20, 2026, at the New Labor Exchange in Paris, Hénaff
Room, 29 Boulevard du Temple, Paris 3rd arrondissement (République metro
station).
Doors open at 6:30 pm, free admission subject to availability, screening

The directors
Christophe Cordier and Pierre Chamechaude have known each other for over
twenty years through their involvement in the social movement and have
long shared their interest in the figure of Nestor Makhno.
Pierre Chamechaude is the author or co-author of books on anarchism in
the Russian Revolution (1917: The Anarchists, Their Role, Their Choices
(Alternative Libertaire), the social movement, and Ukraine (Ukraine in
Full, Syllepse). He has also published, under the name Pierre Znamensky,
several works on propaganda arts in the Soviet system: Under the Folds
of the Red Flag (Le Rouergue) and Sovietart (Galilée).
Christophe Cordier is the author of numerous social and historical
documentaries. He pays particular attention to focusing on the men and
women who resist various forms of oppression in their own way, as seen,
for example, in his films Class Brothers and On Strike, about the
2019-2020 rail strike. His camera has often been set in foreign
territories: in Peru with The Lost Dream of the River Men, in Chiapas
with Los Vigilantes, and in Palestine with Counterfires.
