Carne Ross is a former British diplomat, Middle East and WMD expert, who resigned in 2004 after giving what was then secret information to a British inquiry into the Iraq War. This year, Ross was featured in the documentary Accidental Anarchist, a film that follows his path from British diplomat to an advocate for anarchism. This film follows his journey to find and eventually witness anarchist principles in action during the Occupy movement, the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s in Catalonia, and contemporarily by the Kurds in Rojava. Rojava is a region in northern Syria that, during the chaotic Syrian Civil War, was able, and continues to this day, to practice a form of anarchism effectively while simultaneously fighting off ISIS as well as maintaining autonomy in that region.
