Diving deeper into complex styles and genres of cinema is a goal of every film buff. While politics has its place in cinema, anarchism has often been the subject of great controversy, particularly during the Cold War, with communists being considered criminals in the United States.

Anarchist cinema goes beyond showing a revolution, and uses film as a tool to show it in a new light that audiences will better understand. In a more progressive world, people are unafraid to revisit what was once considered taboo.

Considering that many of the anarchist films were banned shortly after their release, some of the greatest films of this genre have flown under the radar, being forgotten by cinema and Hollywood. Here are my best anarchist movies, ranked.

10 Japanese Summer: Double Suicide

Japanese Summer: Double Suicide is a Japanese film that revolves around a young sex-obsessed woman who meet a suicidal young man on the streets. The two anarchists become trapped in an underground hideout, inspiring the two to bond in a very odd way. The film’s portrayal of anarchism is quite different from most of the others on this list, having a plot outside all the politics within the film, Japanese Summer: Double Suicide is a truly unique addition to this list.

9 Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great revolves around a man nicknamed Alexander the Great, who escapes from prison with his bandits. The bandits kidnap a group of people, taking them to Alexander’s mountain village to live, but this peaceful existence does not last long when the abducted realize their existence is more than just living for Alexander the Great. Based on the Dilesi Massacre of 1870, Alexander the Great was not well-received at the time of its release and has had limited exposure internationally. This hidden anarchist gem from 1980 deserves more attention for the unique story it brings to the genre.

8 Punishment Park

Punishment Park is set during the Vietnam War when U.S. prisons are at capacity and prisoners must decide between finishing their sentences or spending three days in Punishment Park, where they will be hunted for sport. The film sparked a number of debates, with many having initial negative responses due to the portrayal of the American government and authority figures within the film. Despite the initial negative response, Punishment Park saw a revival after a critical reappraisal in 2005, bumping its position critically, earning a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Criminal US Vaccine experiment on Soldiers in 1918 probably caused 100 million deaths by Bacterial Pneumonia

The 1918-19 bacterial vaccine experiment may have killed 50-100 million people.. LOOKS LIKE A VACCINE EXPERIMENT ON U.S. SOLDIERS CAUSED THE “SPANISH FLU” ?

The reckless and criminal use of experimental ‘vaccines’ by the US Military began MUCH earlier than suspected!

The “Spanish Flu” killed an estimated 50-100 million people during a pandemic 1918-19. What if the story we have been told about this pandemic isn’t true? What if, instead, the killer infection was neither the flu nor Spanish in origin?

Newly analyzed documents reveal that the “Spanish Flu” may have been a military vaccine experiment gone awry. In looking back on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, we need to delve deeper to solve this mystery.

Summary

The reason modern technology has not been able to pinpoint the killer influenza strain from this pandemic is because influenza was not the killer.
More soldiers died during WWI from disease than from bullets.
The pandemic was not flu. An estimated 95% (or higher) of the deaths were caused by bacterial pneumonia, not influenza/a virus.
The pandemic was not Spanish.The first cases of bacterial pneumonia in 1918 trace back to a military base in Fort Riley, Kansas.
From January 21 – June 4, 1918, an experimental bacterial meningitis vaccine cultured in horses by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York was injected into soldiers at Fort Riley.

During the remainder of 1918 as those soldiers – often living and traveling under poor sanitary conditions – were sent to Europe to fight, they spread bacteria at every stop between Kansas and the frontline trenches in France.
One study describes soldiers “with active infections (who) were aerosolizing the bacteria that colonized their noses and throats, while others—often, in the same “breathing spaces”—were profoundly susceptible to invasion of and rapid spread through their lungs by their own or others’ colonizing bacteria.” (1)
The “Spanish Flu” attacked healthy people in their prime. Bacterial pneumonia attacks people in their prime. Flu attacks the young, old and immunocompromised.
When WW1 ended on November 11, 1918, soldiers returned to their home countries and colonial outposts, spreading the killer bacterial pneumonia worldwide.

During WW1, the Rockefeller Institute also sent the antimeningococcic serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries, helping spread the epidemic worldwide.

During the pandemic of 1918-19, the so-called “Spanish Flu” killed 50-100 million people, including many soldiers. Many people do not realize that disease killed far more soldiers on all sides than machine guns or mustard gas or anything else typically associated with WWI.
