This documentary stands out for its ability to challenge Western-centric historical narratives. Using declassified CIA documents and White House recordings, it shifts the spotlight to the ability to act of a non-Western nation dealing with imperialist pressures. However, the film adheres to the social structures of the 1960s. It does not include LGBTQ+ identities or offer much in the way of gender subversion. Additionally, it prioritizes geopolitical analysis over individual character diversity.
