- Synopsis
- SAMIA is about fighting. It is about the fact that no major changes or improvements have occurred in the history of humanity without a preceding struggle: for the abolition of slavery, for universal suffrage, for employees’ rights, for female equality… For all these things which we in the West regard as naturally right, people went out into the streets, raised their voices and even gave their lives. Our theme can also be summarized in the words of Bertolt Brecht, who said:
  If you fight, you may lose. If you don’t fight, you’ve lost already.
