Red Army–P.F.L.P.: Declaration of World War

About the film

Filmed in Lebanon, this militant newsreel brings the Japanese filmmakers’ camera into contact with Palestinian guerrillas and their daily lives. Masao Adachi and Koji Wakamatsu frame cinema as a means of international revolutionary communication, bringing landscape, political speech, and preparation for armed struggle into a provocative form of solidarity.
