Description

The documentary addresses the problem of the Palestinian people from its historical origins, to the social situation that characterizes it, to the forms of struggle to achieve their liberation. In particular, the film - through footage taken in the Jordan Valley, in refugee camps, in the cities and countryside of Jordan - describes the organization and function of one of the components of the Palestinian Resistance, the Popular Democratic Front. The phases of military training that the Front imparts to its militants, the guerrilla actions it conducts, its relations with the Arab masses, the characteristics of its political intervention are shown.
