Palestina, Otro Vietnam’ is a compelling work that aligns the Palestinian struggle with a tricontinental, anti-imperialist horizon.
Palestina, Otro Vietnam’ is a compelling work that aligns the Palestinian struggle with a tricontinental, anti-imperialist horizon. Structured in chapters, it moves from the aftermath of the 1967 war to mass demonstrations and training grounds, where men, women, and children practice survival and resistance. The camera’s proximity, switching between black-and-white and colour, treats cinema as witness, archive, and rallying cry.
First screened in Baghdad in 1973, where it won Best Documentary, the film travels across geographies to assert a shared vocabulary of liberation. Its images of bombardment, solidarity, and disciplined preparation remain a vivid record of a formative moment when filmmaking and political education were inseparable for many audiences.
