This documentary is a warning that if we ignore the helpless and reject critical thinking, we are bound for totalitarianism.
The ideas of political theorist Hannah Arendt, who died in 1974, have lost none of their potency or relevance with the passage of time. Her reflections on subjects such as the totalitarian state and the banality of evil have made her one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. Vita activa, the Spirit of Hannah Arendt draws on a wealth of source material in a detailed examination of her convictions. Correspondence read aloud in voice-over accompanies the photographs, home movies and other archive material, and these scenes are intercut with interviews with her contemporaries. What comes most to the fore is Arendt’s unremitting sense of displacement. During the Second World War, Arendt, who was Jewish, fled to the United States, where she felt herself to be living in exile. This is an important concept, given that she belonged to a people dismissed as “superfluous.” The notion of superfluity was the wellspring of her theories and views about the establishment of a state of Israel, Zionism and the Holocaust. But on another level, they can easily be extrapolated to the current refugee situation, with millions of displaced people at the borders of Europe. The American philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler refers to Arendt’s work, saying that a society that tries to do away with plurality becomes genocidal. This documentary is a warning that if we ignore the helpless and reject critical thinking, we are bound for totalitarianism.

De vaak controversiële inzichten in de geschriften van theoreticus Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) hebben nog niets aan kracht en relevantie ingeboet. Met haar overpeinzingen over onder meer de totalitaire staat en de banaliteit van het kwaad behoort ze tot een van de meest invloedrijke denkers van de twintigste eeuw. In de documentaire worden haar overtuigingen uiteengezet aan de hand van een veelvoud aan bronmateriaal. Foto’s, familiefilms en ander archiefmateriaal worden begeleid door de voice-over waarin briefwisselingen worden voorgelezen. Beelden worden afgewisseld met interviews met vakgenoten. Vooral Arendts voortdurende gevoel van ontheemd zijn, komt prominent naar voren. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog vlucht de Joodse Arendt naar de Verenigde Staten, waar ze het gevoel had alsof ze in ballingschap leefde. Het is een belangrijk denkbeeld, aangezien ze behoorde tot een als “overbodig” gekwalificeerd volk. Uit het gevoel van overbodigheid ontstonden haar theorieën en zienswijzen over de stichting van de natiestaat Israël, het zionisme en de Holocaust. Maar bovenal kunnen ze eenvoudig worden geëxtrapoleerd naar de hedendaagse vluchtelingenproblematiek, met miljoenen ontheemden in de nabijheid van Europa. Californisch professor Judith Butler duidt Arendts werk door te stellen dat een samenleving die pluriformiteit verwerpt, op genocide afstevent. De documentaire is een waarschuwing: zodra we hulpeloosheid negeren en kritisch denken verwerpen, koersen we steeds dichter naar het...
