NEW FILM AVAILABLE

“Raya Dunayevskaya: Biography of an Idea”

This new documentary illustrates many major concepts of the philosopher, activist, and feminist Raya Dunayevskaya, who developed Marxist-Humanism over much of the last century. Its title and content reflect Dunayevskaya’s own approach to her biography as consisting of her ideas and their development. The film highlights the enduring relevance of her concepts today, especially the need for philosophic “new beginnings.” See the review and trailer in “With Sober Senses.”

The film-maker has generously allowed MHI to show this film. People anywhere in the U.S. who wish to arrange a screening and discussion should contact MHI about inviting us to show it in your locale. Write to [email protected]
