From Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and 7/7, to resistance in Ramallah and traumatic dislocation in the Middle East, Berger explores the countless personal choices, encounters, illuminations, sacrifices, griefs and memoires that occur in the grip of political resistance. These thoughtful reflections reveal how the political can be found at the core of human existence, whether in the relentlessness of daily life in the West Bank, the potential force of desire, or the unflinching gaze of Pasolini’s political film.
