Die Rote Hilfe OG Kiel und die Hansa48 präsentieren: Solidarität verbindet — 100 Jahre Rote Hilfe (Dokumentarfilm; DE 2024; ca 100 min)

In the organizer's words:

The film "Solidarity unites - 100 years of Red Aid", which was released to mark the 100th anniversary of the organization, is dedicated to the past and present of solidarity work. Beginning with Germany's Rote Hilfe during the Weimar Republic and in illegality during Nazi fascism, the film covers the re-establishment of Rote Hilfe structures in the early 1970s through to today's Rote Hilfe e. V. (Red Aid).

Exemplary cases of repression show fields of action from these phases and approach the topic from different perspectives: In interviews, left-wing activists from various movements who were accused or imprisoned and received solidarity support have their say, as do Rote Hilfe members who accompanied the trials and organized campaigns.

It becomes clear that support practices, topics and political priorities have experienced some continuities, but also changes and breaks. The common thread running through all decades is practical and organized solidarity.
