This is an interview of the Japanese experimental filmmaker Masao Adachi in Tokyo. After making a number of experimental films, in 1974 Adachi decided to go to Palestine to commit his energies to the cause of the Palestinian Revolution for liberation, whereupon he was imprisoned in Lebanon for activities that were revealed only later and extradited to Japan,where he spent two additional years in prison. In 2007, Adachi brought out his first feature film, Yuheisha – Terorisuto (The Prisoner), after his release. The interview marked the celebration of this special occasion.

The slogans accompanying the drawings are not exactly anemic either: A T-shirt for infantry snipers bears the inscription "Better use Durex," next to a picture of a dead Palestinian baby, with his weeping mother and a teddy bear beside him. A sharpshooter's T-shirt from the Givati Brigade's Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull's-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, "1 shot, 2 kills."
