Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War poster

Overview

On their way back from the Cannes Film Festival in 1971, filmmakers Wakamatsu Koji and Adachi Masao visited Lebanon to meet Japan's Red Army faction and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to shoot a newsreel film promoting the Palestinian resistance. Conceived as a ‘declaration of world war’ that implicates us all, the directors capture the everyday banality of military training and preparation exercises for imminent battle.

00:52:46 With our collective struggle, we can decisively defeat

00:54:43 A Communist League Red Army soldier speaks:

00:59:02 Here arose another important question:
