Karl Marx wasn’t born a Marxist. His ideas developed through the experience of revolutionary struggle and in debates with other wings of the communist movement. This film follows the life of Marx from the birth of his friendship with Friedrich Engels, through to their co-writing of The Communist Manifesto.
Director Raoul Peck approaches his works with definite political intent, and in this docudrama The Young Karl Marx (2017) he does justice to the man of its namesake and his ideas. Come join us for a screening of the film, as well as an evening of related political discussion! For a more comprehensive viewing, we recommend reading through The Communist Manifesto, copies of which will be available at our literature table.
