In 1955, 29 newly independent nations met in Bandung, Indonesia and terrified the world\u2019s superpowers. This is the story of what happened next.<\/p>\n

Having rejected colonial rule, they set out to break free from a system built against them. The meeting became a movement, one that shaped leaders from Nelson Mandela to Malcolm X and reshaped the Global South\u2019s sense of its own power.<\/p>\n

But the empires struck back with coups, economic pressure and years of breaking the unity that was built. The idea, however, never died.<\/p>\n

Told through rare archival footage and expert analysis, this film asks why Bandung\u2019s questions about power and sovereignty are just as urgent now as they were then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
