Passend zu unserem Lesekreis des Sommersemesters "Was ist revolutionärer Marxismus?" wollen wir zusammen mit euch einen Film über eine der bedeutendsten Figuren des Marxismus schauen.
"Rosa Luxemburg", erschienen 1986, von der Regisseurin Margarethe von Trotta zeichnet die Biographie der Sozialdemokratin nach und liefert ein anschauliches Panorama der damaligen gesellschaftlichen Situation.
Vor dem Film wird es einen kleinen historischen Input geben.
Kommt vorbei, der Eintritt ist kostenlos!
