Yanqui Walker and the Optical Revolution
Kathryn Ramey
This film explores a now-obscure American expansionist, William Walker, who through military force and coercion became president of Nicaragua in 1856. Walker was one of many expansionists who believed it was America's Manifest Destiny to conquer all of the Americas and who engaged in border raids in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. Filmmaker Kathryn Ramey blends found footage, documentary photography, ethnographic inquiry, and personal travelogue with experimental film techniques such as hand-processing, optical printing, and time-lapse to detour and derail the various approaches to historymaking that have been applied to this story. YANQUI WALKER AND THE OPTICAL REVOLUTION tells us how US political history relates to the current political, social and economical context and how art can be a means to subvert and transcend even the most oppressive of narratives.
