PEASANTS OF THE SECOND FORTRESS (1971)(Church of Film)
In the fields just outside of Tokyo, thousands of student protesters joined the peasantry to fight the building of the Narita International Airport. A jaw-dropping achievement, a spectacular monument to humanity in revolt, PEASANTS OF THE SECOND FORTRESS depicts the revolt against state oppression with its cameras directly in the fray, amid the fires, the hoses, the batons, and the clash of activists against monstrous police.
