"If the five sides of the pentagon appear impregnable, attack the sixth side."— Zen proverb

On October 21, 1967, over 100,000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C., for the Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. It was the largest protest gathering yet, and it brought together a wide cross-section of liberals, radicals, hippies, and Yippies. Che Guevara had been killed in Bolivia only two weeks previously, and, for many, it was the transition from simply marching against the war, to taking direct action to try to stop the 'American war machine.'

"Eloquent… impressive… Chris Marker is among that rare breed in whom the currents of political engagement and searching human honesty reinforce and enrich each other."—Film Quarterly
