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.
