Overview

Al-Yasariyoon (The Leftists) is an Arabic documentary series tracing the history of left-wing and socialist thought across the Arab world. It begins with the founding of the region's first communist party — established by a group of Jewish intellectuals — and follows the subsequent proliferation of leftist and socialist parties across multiple Arab nations. Against a backdrop of revolutions, catastrophes, and seismic political and economic shifts, the series charts the ideological tides that swept through the Arab world over decades, examining why leftist movements surged, receded, and transformed in response to the forces reshaping the region. A compelling intellectual history of Arab political thought.
