Confrontation (1968)

เรื่องย่อ

A unique silent film made in the mid-1970s providing an overview of the era’s pivotal social movements, from the fight for Civil Rights to the Anti-War movement. Through a series of quickly edited montage sequences, Confrontation offers prescient commentary regarding the country's stark racial divisions, governmental corruption under Nixon, and rampant consumerism, amongst other issues. Bailen combines footage of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and protests against the Vietnam War in Chicago, IL, juxtaposing them with newspaper headlines and still image photography from different magazines or advertisements that provide sardonic commentary on the issues explored throughout the film.
