The document outlines a treatment for a leftist zine aimed at introducing 15-30 year olds to anarchism. The zine will include serious information alongside doodles to show that anarchism is about more than just fires and rioting. Interviews and photos will feature subjects like skaters, graffiti artists, punks and squatters. Content will be sourced from archives, existing zines, and modified as needed. The zine will have sections covering an editorial, contents, how-tos, a competition, interviews, photos and information on graffiti, skating and squatting. The creator chose the zine format for its creative freedom and as a possible focus for their final major project.
