Newly independent nations challenged imperial dominance at Bandung conference
This is a single Al Jazeera documentary about the 1955 Bandung Conference, a pivotal meeting of non-aligned nations that challenged Cold War bipolarity and established frameworks for cooperation among newly independent states in Asia and Africa.
