My Favourite Films, Part 9: Punishment Park (1971) Directed by Peter Watkins (maker of The War Game, banned by the BBC in 1965) this is a rage against the machine, sledgehammer of a film. Made in mock-documentary style, (like the War Game) its chief Influence being the shooting of the Kent State students in 1970, it is set in a very near future America where the Vietnam war and internal rioting and discord has escalated, depicting a trial of radicals and dissenters under new draconian state of emergency laws, alongside the brutal punishment game in the desert of the previous defendants. https://youtube/watch?v=0m1M6BXj4g8
