In Part 3: Micro Resistencias, Marwa Arsanios focuses on the region of Tolima, also known as one of the coffee producing regions in Colombia. The film brings to our attention several stories of women who, in turn, talk about their struggle to preserve the ancestral knowledge of the indigenous communities concerning the cultivation and protection of the seeds that enable them to achieve a form of agricultural autonomy.

The film Who is Afraid of Ideology? Part 4: Reverse Shot departs from a collaborative project that is attempting to shift the status of a private land area in the north of Lebanon to a common or a social waqf. The aim is to advance the right of usership over ownership. The land would only be used by people who do not own land for agricultural purposes.

The first two chapters of Who is Afraid of Ideology? were presented in the framework of Marwa Arsanios solo exhibition of the same name during the City of Women festival in 2018 in collaboration with the Škuc Gallery.
