Synopsis
Few artists in history have shifted from revolutionary imagination to revolutionary action. In 1974, director of left-wing sex films, Adachi abandoned commercial film-making and Japan to join the extremist Japanese Red Army in exile in Beirut, where the group gained fame through lethal hijackings and bombings in support of a free Palestine and a worldwide Communist revolution. Also in Beirut was the group's founder Fusako Shigenobu and her daughter May, who lived incognito for years. Here, May, the daughter of a Japanese terrorist, and Adachi, an activist film-maker, recount their lengthy exile in Lebanon, offering reflections on the relationship between life, politics and cinema.
