Peaceful Propaganda
5 min. 35mm, 2005
A present-day Canadian peace march as seen from the admiring perspective of a fascist propaganda newsreel.
Director's statement:
As I watched them march past me with their signs and banners, shouting slogans and waiving flags, I imagined it all in black and white, imposing, aggressive, perverted, during another time and another place. And I heard an authoritarian voice commanding me to join. But I would not.
