When Hungary’s illiberal regime began taking control of universities, only one fought back: The University of Theater and Film Arts in Budapest. After months of protest, half the faculty resigned -- and then a mass of students left with them. Now they are building a liberatory and international alternative.

László Upor, a professor and dramaturg on the frontlines of the movement, tells the story of this inspiring cultural resistance.
