Grin Without A Cat

A Grin Wihtout A Cat (its title refers to Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat) is Maker's magnum opus; a three-hour overview of the worldwide political upheavals during the Sixities and Seventies.

Marker interweaves footage from the Viewtnam War and the antiwar protests in the U.S., May '68 in Paris, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, Salvador Allende and the coup in Chile, Che Guevara and Regis Debray in Bolivia, the Shah of Iran, Fidel Castro, et alia.

Official images, film clips, news coverage trims and neglected reels comprise the basic materials of this major fresco, which concludes with the following credits: "The true authors of thsi film are the countless cameramen, technical operators, witnesses and activists whose work is contantly pitted against that of the powers that be, who would like us to have no memory."
