SOLIDARITY

“We were dreaming of unity, be it Arab, African, Third World, or global. A oneness, a unity of peoples fighting for independence and socialism, on every continent.”

Letter from the Committee of Foreign Students in Lódź, PWSTiF archives, Lódź, 1969

“I remember Mostafa Derkaoui being very aware of the struggles in Morocco against repression and very concerned about the disappearance of Ben Barka. Committed as we were to the development of our countries, we shared dreams of collaboration and cooperation after graduating. I obtained my sociology degree in 1971 and returned to Costa Rica. In the cinema field, there was definitely a demand and the possible conditions for the Derkaouis to join me, but it never happened.”

Miguel Sobrado, 2019
