Organized and edited by Chris Marker, Far From Vietnam is an epic 1967 collaboration and essay collage among a handful of cinema's giants: Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Alain Resnais and Agnés Varda. It was made in protest of American military involvement in Vietnam (per Marker's narration: "to affirm, by the exercise of their craft, their solidarity with the Vietnamese people in struggle against aggression").

"Rich with humanity and indignation...this is a film nobody should miss. It mirrors both the horror and the hope of our times." Sanity Magazine
