In Mapping Lessons we travel with K through time and place to a Middle East being colonized. This essay film puts struggles in conversation, from the early days of the Soviets, 1936 Spain, the Vietnamese resistance and the Paris Commune to the Syrian Revolution in 2011. All with the aim of preparing us for the next time.
