Wildcat is an experimental portrait that explores the life and work of anarchist cartoonist Donald Rooum (b.1928). Donald’s involvement, since the late 1940s, in political organising, publishing and comic illustration is the catalyst for a new film creating a formless, experimental portrait of action, creation and resistance.

Idrish acts as an urgent and potent piece of anti-deportation activism. With reports of deportation flights regularly in the news, the film is rich with resonance to our current moment. In one striking sequence, footage of a protest march gives way to staccato editing and propulsive sound design by Claude Nouk, who re-uses and manipulates archival sounds to transform the film into a powerful rallying cry. Radically reanimating the documentary form, Jacob enlivens the archive to tell a vital history.
