This provocative documentary essay by "Pino" Solanas and Grupo Liberación examines imperialist exploitation, class struggle and the need for revolution in Latin America. Divided into three parts and spanning four hours, the film calls to action through striking archival footage and exciting cinematographic devices. Political and didactic, this emblematic work was conceived and screened clandestinely, initiating a new movement in cinema.
