‘This Film Has Been Declassified’ US Department of the Army archive film<\/p><\/div>\n

Liberation Radio<\/a><\/b>\u00a0centres around the story of a group of American military deserters who in 1968 went to the North Vietnamese mission in Stockholm with one object in mind \u2013 to join the army they had been drafted to fight. Instead, they were recruited for the propaganda war \u2013 and use magnetic tape, pop music and political rhetoric to persuade other American servicemen to desert. Their recordings were transported from Sweden to Vietnam by diplomatic bag, and broadcast from transmitters on the rooftops of Hanoi, and revolutionary bases in the countryside. From 28 May, the work being displayed at\u00a0Manzi Exhibition Space,<\/a>\u00a0Hanoi\u2019s renowned home for contemporary art, will revive that circuit of communication.<\/p>\n

Liberation Radio will connect exhibition visitors to this unexplored story from the Vietnamese past. With contributions from some of the surviving American deserters, Swedish anti-war activists and Vietnamese journalists of the period, visitors to Manzi will hear the voice of\u00a0Liberation Radio<\/b>\u00a0speak once again.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is supported by FAMLAB (Film, Archives and Music Lab) Fund, as part of the British Council\u2019s Heritage of Future Past project in Viet Nam.<\/p>\n
