Antonio Negri – A Revolt That Never Ends

Antonio Negri

This documentary film profiles the controversial life and times of this important moral and political philosopher, militant, refugee and so called enemy of the state. It traces Negri’s roots in the history of radical left-wing movements in Italy during the sixties and seventies, illustrated through archival footage of workers’ strikes, factory occupations, terrorist actions, violent street confrontations, political repression, and government trials of dissidents.
During these tumultuous decades, finding himself branded as an evil ideologue with alleged ties to the Red Brigades terrorist group, Negri spent many years in prison and in exile in Paris, where he contributed to philosophical debates with authors such as Deleuze and Guattari. The film features interviews with Negri, conducted following his April 2003 release from confinement, as well as public speaking appearances at seminars and protest demonstrations, plus commentary from his co-author Michael Hardt and Italian and French colleagues.
