note = "Funding Information: Serving as “weapons of culture,”4 revolutionary cinemas of the 1960s and 1970s advanced an indigenous, critical, and noncapitalist mode of visualizing and narrativizing anticolonial struggles from the perspective of the oppressed, powered by a cinematic language founded in the Soviet Union in the 1920s5 and shaped by the Third Cinema movement in the 1960s more generally.6 These latter cinemas were also produced during the height of the Cold War, a bipolar organization of global power that impelled the Soviet Union to secure support from Việt Nam and Palestine in the struggle against U.S. global capitalism. Of course, their respective adversaries are distinct: North Việt Nam fought against French colonizers, South Việt Nam, and U.S. forces; Palestinians struggle against settler colonial encroachment by Anglo-European Zionists in Historic Palestine, with its major supporter and financier, the United States. In Việt Nam, precipitated by France{\textquoteright}s colonial failures, the United States unleashed a decade of unrestrained chemical and territorial warfare until its unpopular, costly, and humiliating defeat in 1975. In Historic Palestine, precipitated by British colonial rule, the United States has been a formidable and constitutive part of Israeli settler colonial occupation since 1948 through the ideological, military, political, cultural, and financial support of Israel—a “special relationship” that continues today. Despite these differences, Việt Nam and Palestine coalesced as part of a larger revolutionary Third World bloc in part due to their antagonistic positioning by the United States: not only did they serve as pawns and proxies of the Cold War; their national aspirations obstructed the capitalistic and geopolitical imperialisms of the emergent imperial superpower as well.",
