Synopsis(borrowed from Sixpackfilm)
Resistance to the political change which took place in Austria in the year 2000, even when coming from members of the alleged opposition, is repeatedly dismissed as a hysterical reaction. The claim is made that this was a “normal democratic change.”

Furthermore, these protests were and are intended to stop the “integration of popular racism” (Steyerl) into the social and political mainstream, which is also on the rise in countries other than Austria.Read More »
