About this movie

THE FLAHERTY Presents: Eric Baudelaire's THE ANABASIS... Mixing personal stories, political history, revolutionary propaganda and film theory, Eric Baudelaire illuminates the idealism and radicalism of left-wing extremist movements of the 1970s by interweaving the stories of two of its protagonists: May Shigenobu, daughter of the founder of the Japanese Red Army, and Masao Adachi, the revered Japanese director who gave up cinema to take up arms.
