_______
Passionate, idealistic, defiant, guerrillas evoke romantic images of the struggle for a just cause, giving them an almost mythical place among the bravest of warriors. Guerillas is a profound meditation on what it is that makes ordinary people to go to war, make them take the conscious decision to kill and die for an ideal that exists and cross an invisible line, towards a territory where death, and not life, is the main certainty.
From the mujahedin of Afghanistan, the FMLN of El Salvador, the Karen of Burma, the Polisario of Western Sahara, to a group of young Palestinians fighting against Israel in the Gaza Strip, Jon Lee Anderson travels through those war zones to create an extraordinary vision of individuals risking their lives in the struggle to change their world against overwhelming and improbable odds.
