Details

This award-winning film interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the incredible story of The Weather Underground. As former members reflect candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home," they paint a compelling portrait of troubled and revolutionary times, with unexpected and often striking connections to the current world situation. Narrated by Lili Taylor, it includes interviews with Bill Ayers, Kathleen Cleaver, Bernardine Dohrn, Brian Flanagan, David Gilbert, Naomi Jaffe, Mark Rudd, Laura Whitehorn, and Todd Gitlin.
"A powerful, timely film. Young people, especially, should see it, as it addresses issues and questions at the heart of the current social and political climate." —Amy Goodman
