The Universal Clock (UC) is a documentary, which accompanies the boxed dvd set of Peter Watkins' La Commune (Paris, 1871). UC takes us through the production process of La Commune and also shows us the commercial barriers to having Watkins' recreation of the Paris Commune shown after it was created. “The Universal Clock” refers to the standardization of video content on the 47-minute model (with commercial and public service announcements taking up the balance of the time.) Watkins calls this the 'monoform' and is shown describing this concept. UC also includes interviews with the cast members, who are non-professional actors participating in this group project.

This documentary treats colonialism and western cold war imperialism in the context of the British army invasion of Guyana in 1953.

Centering around historical references, interviews and nine Poems of Resistance by Martin Carter, the film deals critically with the total impact of the period. It reveals the complex nature of colonialist domination in daily life presenting images which examine the psychological consequences of poverty and oppression. In examining the effective use of Carter's poetry, which was banned in Guyana, Eusi Kwayana, leading member of the working people's alliance, sees the collection as a cultural product to enrich the struggle with "ideological nourishment."
