The Dissidents: THE KITKAT CLUB, Germany

THE KITKAT CLUB, Germany Dissident: Kirsten Krüger Director: Romuald Karmakar THE DISSIDENTS – Peter Munch Films Why be a dissident in Europe today? What is the future of Europe? Will the tipping points of the refugee crisis, civil wars and economic disparity mean the end of the European Union dream? These are some of the questions that seek answers in the ground-breaking film project ‘The Dissidents’, led by director Jeppe Rønde. Short films, from several European Union countries, offer portraits of those prepared to be at odds with the policies and directives of their governments. Each Dissident is viewed through the lens of a leading film director from their own place. Using the backdrop of the historic Ventotene Manifesto, which dreamt of a Europe united, we ask each of the Dissidents provide a contemporary interpretation of the Manifesto’s relevance.
