NIXON ASSASSIN! POMPIDOU COMPLICE!

This film was shot in Paris in 1972 and begins with images of a campaign against hunger in Africa, followed by scenes of people in the streets. An important moment occurs when posters calling for a demonstration against the Vietnam War appear, with the slogan “Hanoi 72!” in front of the American Embassy. While I was filming graffiti written for the demonstration, messages such as “Nixon = Hitler,” “Nixon assassin” (Nixon was the President of the United States at the time), and “FSI - Front de Solidarité International” appear, along with graffiti calling everyone to the demonstration, scheduled for January 20, 1972, at 3:00 p.m.
