The sound track

The clashes of the French May, the sirens of the police and of the ambulances that rush to Valle Giulia or the Columbia University or the Universitad de Montevideo, the slogans and the chants of the Japanese Zengakuren students and of the Palestine militants of Al Fatha, the marches of the Italian workers, the Internazionale sung by the German students under the jet of the hydrants, the “No more brothers in jail” chanted rhythmically by the demonstrators of the Black Power Party outside the court of Alameda... Luigi Longo interviewed in Prague during the Spring, the Om of  Allen Ginsberg during the clashes of Chicago, Ho Chi Min who warns the USA: Vietnam will never give in. And then the voices of Fidel Castro, Rudi Dutschke, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Don Mazzi, Oreste Scalzone...

Fragments and echoes of the protest songs: the “compagni dai campi e dalle officine” of “Contessa” by Paolo Pietrangeli, “Valle Giulia” by Pietrangeli and Giovanna Marini, “Cara Moglie” by Ivan Della Mea, Leo Ferrè who sings of the May, Bierman who sings of Vietnam, “Hasta Siempre” of the Cuban Carlos Puebla who pays homage to Che, “We Shall Overcome” by Joan Baez, Teodorakis, anonymous Vietnamese songs, anonymous Chinese, Greek and Spanish music.
