NEWBORN -CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FULL FILM- The political documentary Newborn deals with the contemporary reality of Kosovo after its official declaration of independence. This condition of almost pure subjugation in economical, political and cultural terms, shocks us with all its brutality, forcing us to think about the true purpose of the International role in keeping the stability. It is a journey through contemporary forms of colonialism and a disclosure of its repressive and ideological apparatuses at work. Kosovo demonstrates the form of colonisation typical of the neoliberal logic of expansion, the contemporary colonisation strategy whose parallels are implemented in different parts of the world and to which different geopolitical plans and strategies are applied, thus conditioning all other segments of social dependency. This goes on simultaneously at three levels: firstly, it is established through the mediation of Western values conveyed by the system through visual inputs imposed on to the colonized; secondly, the system introduces the strategy of subjugation implemented through capital control, which means that capital investments, equities and privatisation are used as the means of controlling the economy and, consequentially, the social structure in a given country or geographical area; thirdly, the army is used in order to establish a state of exception, and through this, force the people into subjugation.
