ANPO: Art x War

ANPO refers to the US-Japan Mutual Security Treaty, which has justified the presence of 90 US military bases in Japan for six decades. The presence of these bases has spawned opposition and protests. Director Linda Hoaglund (who was born and raised in Japan) delves deeply into resistance against ANPO, drawing upon an electrifying collage of archival sources of oil paintings, photographs, films and animation. ANPO is a revelation of art and history.
