The Film Justifies the Means

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Inside our dark editing rooms, we unearth images filmed by a generation of filmmakers who dared to capture the raw, unfiltered reality of a country in conflict. These visuals, once buried by time, reveal a society fractured by war and unrest, preserving the voices and experiences of those on the front lines. Five decades later, as we painstakingly recover and restore these fragments of history, we confront the enduring power of cinema as a witness to trauma and resistance.

This documentary offers more than a window into the past—it is an interrogation of the ways collective memory is shaped, contested, and revived. Through this lens, we invite audiences to explore the convergence of archival research, political commentary, and the filmmaker's art in preserving a cinematic legacy that refuses to fade.
