Why We Fight?

Why We Fight? is a powerful and necessary film, conceived and directed by Alain Platel and Mirjam Devriendt, inspired by the dance performance Nicht Schlafen by Alain Platel. Through intense imagery and a deeply physical narrative, the film explores the tensions that shape our present: conflict, the fragility of bodies, latent violence, and the need for resistance. The language of dance becomes cinema, transforming into a space for collective reflection on why we continue to fight.
