Celebrate Women's History Month with this screening of “Rosa Luxemburg,” 
which received the 1986 German Film Award for Best Feature Film (Bester 
Spielfilm). This is a first-rate introduction to a liberated 
revolutionary woman who struggled for working class unity, against 
patriarchy, nationalism and other divisive ideologies. Barbara Sukowa 
won the Cannes Festival's Best Actress Award for her performance as “Red 
Rosa,” the Polish-born Marxist who campaigned relentlessly for socialism 
and peace. Repeatedly imprisoned in Germany and Poland, Luxemburg was 
among the European socialists who condemned the imperialist First World 
War, and then helped launch the Spartacist uprising in Germany. She and 
fellow German communist leader Karl Liebknecht were assassinated on 
January 15, 1919, for their bold efforts to win the working class for a 
socialist revolution.

Left Film Nights are presented by the Centre for Socialist Education, 
Young Communist League, and the Vancouver East Club of the Communist 
Party of Canada.
