All of us at Static Vision HQ are absolutely in love with this film – we're so excited to (finally) unleash it!

I wrote about UNREST, a dramatization of Kropotkin’s time in a Swiss mountain town that is home to a watchmaking factory. A beautiful and very funny film. Premieres in New York on Friday. jacobin.com/2023/05/unrest…
