In 1969, Farocki attempted to make "visible," and thus comprehensible, the physical properties of Napalm B, and to demonstrate the impossibility of resistance to its production and use. Because Farocki's film was not distributed in the U.S. at the time of its making, What Farocki Taught was conceived as a gesture of film distribution, taking this small footnote to war-a barnacle stuck on the side of the mothballed vessel of Vietnam- flicking it forward past the recent, more sophisticated, and successful technologies of Panama and the Persian Gulf, to see if the "ping" of recognition and the radical potential of the documentary film project can be revived. Farocki's film is radical in technique, taking up one of the hottest of political questions-the production of terror-and cooling it down to frank, rational substance through the strategy of underrepresentation, refusing the pornography of documentary "evidence" and replacing it with Brechtian reconstruction and demonstration.-Jill Godmilow.
