The documentary, though lacking a known director, captures the essence of a time when young people were passionately engaged in student activism. The testimonies from three university teachers add a personal touch, painting vivid pictures of their experiences. It’s interesting how the film balances the cultural context with personal narratives, giving you a sense of the atmosphere of the era. Pacing is conversational, allowing for reflection rather than just a rush through facts.
