Trip After

About This Movie

So, 'Trip After' dives into a unique slice of history, focusing on this little-known aspect of the USIS's propaganda efforts in Thailand during the 60s. The tone feels quite somber, and there's this haunting contrast between the bright, colorful imagery of the films shown and the stark realities of the rural audiences. Pacing is a bit slow, but it lets you absorb the atmosphere and the weight of what these films represented. I found it fascinating how the film uses archival materials, almost like a collage, blending them with interviews that give a voice to those who experienced it. It’s a film that really makes you think about the impact of media and storytelling, especially in a time of conflict.
