Join Revolutionary Marxist Study Group-Chicago in viewing and discussing Sanjay Kak's 2013 documentary Red Ant Dream! This documentary is about the people's movement and the ongoing revolutionary war in India. This film captures part of this, highlighting the struggle of Adivasis (the indigenous people of India) against multinational corporations and mining companies which seek to expand their plunder of the land and exploitation of the people of India, the Maoists’ fight against state repression which serves to protect and advance the aims of these companies and exploiters, and much more. Capturing the state of the people's movement at the time, the film gives insight into the history of the people's movement in India and how that history interacts with and influences the movement in the present day.

For over two years now, the government of India has deployed hundreds of thousands of security forces, soldiers, and police to the forests of central India in its latest, intense push to destroy the Maoist movement, drive millions of Adivasis off of their land, and eliminate any and all resistance to their genocidal vision, in what the Indian state has named "Operation Kagar," which means "the final solution." The government of India has been using US and Israeli weaponry to conduct aerial bombardments in the forests of Bastar and further repress the people throughout the country, seeking to censor, torture, kill, and otherwise repress and crush anyone deemed a "Naxal of the gun or the pen." However, as this film not only states but shows, "repression breeds resistance." The people are engaging in revolutionary struggle against this reaction, fighting to build a new society. Join us to learn about this struggle, its history, and what we should do in the US to extend solidarity to this people's struggle.
