About this event

An unflinching look at the life and legacy of Sala Udin, a civil rights activist whose fight for justice put him in the cross hairs of federal surveillance. From the movement of the 1960s and 70s to the present day, the film traces his part in the struggle for Black liberation, his clashes with the FBI's COINTELPRO programme, and the lasting cost of resistance, using archive footage, testimony and interviews including one with a retired FBI agent. Directed by Annette Banks & Ty Cooper. United States. Screened at the 7th Kobani International Film Festival, in the Documentary Competition. Schauburg Filmpalast, Gelsenkirchen. Hall Two, 05.09.2026 at 16:00.
