No More Leadershit 1971

Macdonald lays out his theory of anarchy—in its purest sense of a rejection of hierarchy—in this seriocomic short he argues that protesters, police, and soldiers alike are not the perpetrators of violence but are victims at the hands of leaders.
Movie Picture

The Liberal War 1974

The Vietnam War during the JFK years and beyond. Made in 1972 in the filmmaker's apartment, without documentary footage of the war, metaphors are created through the animation of images and objects, and through guerrilla skits. By rejecting the authority of traditional documentary footage, the anarchist spirit of individual responsibility is established. This is history from one person's point of view, rather than a definitive proclamation.
Movie Picture

Palestine 1971

A personal take on Palestine and the creation of Israel, from the Arab perspective. Admittedly a presentation of only one side of the story, done in order to provide some balance to the issue for American audiences. The filmmaker uses a narrative voice over photos as well as metaphoric images and skits, rather than relying on documentary footage.
