Mališa (1987), directed by Boro Drašković, starring Bogdan Diklić, Milena Dravić, Predrag Manojlović, and Jelisaveta Sablić
The original poster of the heavily censored 1987 release in the German Democratic Republic. Due to the shifting political climate in the GDR, the Ministry of Culture (MfK) decided to cut out all scenes alluding to Serbian nationalist movements. Mališa was painted as a symbol of the internationally minded proletariat rising against imperialist oppression from the West. However, this heavily backfired because the GDR public immediately identified with the oppressed and hungry pigeon fighting for survival in a cruel system.

Look, the video-maker is annoyingly anti-communist, he can't go half a second without saying "the victory of capitalism over socialism."
But the actual story is beautiful, and contrasts the result of imperialist and communist "developmental aid." While MNCs and colonial administrations corporatize the profits and socialise the risks in a textbook way, the DDR paid for literally ALL the infrastructure their Vietnamese comrades needed to grow their coffee industry. From dams to power processing, to trucks to ensure transport, to even the research and development needed for flavour optimization! And now, as a result, Vietnam has grown from a napalm-addled mess to the second biggest world producer of coffee.
