"First they came for Socialists, and I did not
speak out - because I was not a Socialist. Then they
came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I
was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not
speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me -
and there was no one left to speak for me.
Rev Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)

Resisting Paradise
A documentary by Barbara Hammer
Posing the question, "Can art exist during a time of political crisis and war?" documentary filmmaker Barbara Hammer turns her lens on life in Southern France during World War II. As Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard created iconic canvasses celebrating physical pleasure and the Mediterranean light, some of their neighbors were risking their lives to save Jews who had fled to the south. In this cinematic personal essay, Hammer reveals some astounding true stories of bravery and how the worlds of art and political responsibility often intersect.
