Geographies of Freedom

The freedom of one comes at the expense of the freedom of the other. This central idea forms the basis of the research project on freedom concepts of which this film is a part of. Through archive footage, the film examines the transformation that Curaçao has undergone since the arrival of the oil refineries of Shell. It poignantly shows the tension between different ideas about freedom and its spatial dimension, in the context of postcolonialism and neoliberalism.
