Directed by Pacific Newsreel, a breakaway faction of the US Newsreel collective, this 1973 documentary compiles archival footage to reconstruct the Palestinian struggle against Zionism and Western imperialism. It traces the political origins of Zionism, Britain's colonial role in assigning Palestine to settlers, and Israel's strategic control over oil routes. Highlighting refugee camps, the rise of the Palestinian Liberation Movement, guerrilla training, and interviews with leaders like Yasser Arafat, the film connects the revolution to global anti-colonial fights while exposing repression's transnational nature, including Moshe Dayan's Vietnam counter-insurgency visit. A powerful act of solidarity cinema urging victory through resistance.
