FILM SYNOPSIS
A layered take on how society and politics in present-day Thailand are haunted by Cold War politics and American military activity in mainland Southeast Asia.
Thailand was a key US ally during the Vietnam War. This film examines the relationship between Thai politics and American military activity during the Indochina wars in the 1960s and ’70s. Using archival footage, extracts of declassified US government reports and audio excerpts of a Thai anticommunist propaganda film, the film underscores the impact of American geostrategic priorities on Thailand.
Thai military dictatorships employed anticommunist rhetoric against leftist protests, notably in the 1976 massacre at Thammasat University. Conjuring the spirit of a victim of the massacre, the film reflects upon the deadly outcome of contested motives while laying bare the violent legacies of complex global histories.
