Punishment Park - Peter Watkins (1971)

A dystopian alternate future of American dissent and conservative reaction. Intercuts tribunal proceedings with the punishment of political prisoners via a deadly chase in the dessert. False documentary style. Weird echos of Guantanamo and US detainees. Mostly produced via improvisational acting. Easier to follow than Watkins' previous film, Gladiators.
