去年社運電影節有套殺死人的六小時影片〔巴黎公社，1871〕，你可以視這片為該片的 making of (製作特輯)，但本片也有本片的意義。Peter Watkins通過呼召集體學習及重新演繹一段被遺忘的草民抗爭歷史（巴黎公社）來追縱現代抗爭的意義，以及讓現代人民參與創造歷的意義，而本片則追縱這個過程，並訪問好多個角色，讓他們以自己的日常生活影像與〔巴黎公社，1871〕中的角度互相映照，並再對照全球媒體如何操作「真實」與「歷史」，最後對比出一幅複雜的「真實」圖像，讓你不能不想想：如果每天看到的影像都比「真實」更「真實」時，你又如何？

A short story narrated by an unknown British soldier who reveals his hopes, fears, and disillusionment while heading into battle against the German army.

One of the most significant filmmakers of his generation, Peter Watkins has made compassionate, uncompromising films and videos that challenge not only conventional styles and techniques but also notions of history and the media. The ever-timely The Journey: A Film for Peace, made between 1984 and 1987, is a pioneering attempt at a fully international cinema. Watkins worked with support groups around the world to raise money and assemble crews while shooting the film in the United States, Canada, Norway, Scotland, France, West Germany, Mozambique, Japan, Australia, Tahiti, and Mexico. He spent eighteen months editing the more than 100 hours of footage he compiled, weaving together extended family interviews, documentation of the global arms race, recollections of survivors of the bombings in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Hamburg, community psychodramas of possible disaster scenarios, and works by other artists. The film is monumental both in its critique and analysis and in its effort to inspire and occasion new ways of using information and the media.
