Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone interested in what war does to people and anyone who likes learning something new. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to They Shall Not Grow Old.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 18 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A remarkable examination of the forces behind the Civil Rights Movement in 1960’s America. Drawing parallels between successful communist insurrections in China, Cuba, and Algeria; “Anarchy USA” attempts to convince its audience that revolutionary communism was using the noble fight for civil rights to foment racial tension and overthrow the US government. A treasure trove of rare archival footage from America’s most traumatic period of social upheaval. Featuring Ahmed Ben Bally, Julia Brown, Charles De Gaulle, Martin Luther King.
