Amerasia & Viêt Nam!

Wolf-Eckart Bühler (1945-2020) practiced a unique approach to the USA in his films and writings: on the one hand he focused on icons of the Left who stood up for a different America, were once vilified and are today vindicated by history; on the other hand he bore witness to the US-led Vietnam War's aftereffects in Asia. For Amerasia, his final feature scored by Terry Allen and Surachai Jantimatorn, Bühler personally supervised the new digital restoration available for the first time in this edition. Rot weht der Wind (Red Blows the Wind), Bühler's rare radio feature tracing the history of the German periodical «Filmkritik», is just one of many supplements included here.
