This 2002 documentary on the Weather Underground is excellent!

The only place I've seen the link posted here is buried in a Teabagger/Ayers protest thread.

Thanks David__77, for posting the link in that thread. I watched the documentary, and couldn't take my eyes off it.

This film is very well done. It's worth watching even if you don't agree with the actions taken by the Weather Underground.

edit: Guess it's not new, but it was new to me. Still highly recommended!

1. Is that new?

I think I saw that years ago.

On edit:

Definitely not new. But good to see if you haven't seen it before.

2. I thought it was. Damn if I know.

It blew me away though.

3. Here's the press release from 2004

It is interesting to read the reviews.

4. Thanks!

I guess I was too busy in school and missed it when it came out.

I did see some of the original play though! (heh!)...as in getting dragged off the steps of the pentagon and off to jail in '67. They had some brief footage of that protest.

I was 20 years old myself in 1967, and really got caught up in the unrest. The film was very moving for me. I supported their actions at the time. :hippie:

5. The documentary did a good job capturing the spirit of the events.

Right reason, wrong way.

(...maybe...)

No, it's a really good documentary.
