During a time of mass upheaval around the world and plane hijacking as a popular means of struggle against empire, the filmmakers conceived of this film as a newsreel that would act as “a declaration of war”. Using lo-fi, gritty landscapes and showcasing the revolutionaries on the ground building up the organizational capacity to take on the Israeli state, the filmmakers created a cinematic bridge between the struggles of the left in Japan in the 1970’s and the struggle for Palestinian liberation. Upon returning to Japan, Adachi and his collaborators independently distributed the film across the country on a Red Bus. Later, they would leave Japan to participate full-time in the Palestinian resistance.
