Jeff Dorchen

The world looks way better through the eyes of the rich.

Effix

End of the month, end of the world: On social and ecological struggle with the Yellow Vests.

Live from Paris, researcher Effix explores the political context of the Yellow Vests - as a year-long heterogenous movement linked by neoliberal impoverishment and ecological precarity, a departure from traditional forms of dissent, and a possibility that must be linked with international movements rebelling against the predation of global capitalism.
