Synopsis:
GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES was Rogosin’s powerful response to militarism and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries, amassing footage of war atrocities from national archives.

It won the Cine Forum Award as the official British entry for feature film at the 1965 Venice film festival.Read More »
