The Non-Aligned Movement | How Most of the World Fought the Cold War Without Choosing Sides

Описание: The Cold War is often told as a story of two superpowers.
In reality, most of the world lived outside both.

As the United States and the Soviet Union divided the globe into rival blocs, dozens of newly independent nations refused to align with either side. Caught between pressure, intervention, and proxy war, they attempted something unprecedented — to survive the Cold War without becoming part of it.

This documentary tells the real, documented story of the Non-Aligned Movement, from its origins in decolonization and the Bandung Conference to its struggle for autonomy amid coups, proxy wars, economic dependency, and superpower coercion. It examines how non-alignment functioned not as neutrality, but as a constant negotiation for sovereignty in a system designed to eliminate independence.

Using historical records and Cold War analysis, this film explores how most of humanity experienced the Cold War not as a distant ideological rivalry, but as an imposed global condition that shaped development, conflict, and survival far from Washington and Moscow.

This is the Cold War seen from the margins — where power was limited, choices were constrained, and independence had to be defended every day.
