The Weather Underground on Wed Oct 22 at 7:00 & 9:30; Thurs Oct 23 at 9:00; Fri Oct 24 at 4:30 & 7:00 & 9:00; Sat Oct 25 at 4:30 & 7:00 & 9:00; Sun Oct 26 at 2:00 & 4:00 & 7:00 & 9:00
Fuelled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground, a group of young American radicals, waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s–bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. Ultimately, the group’s carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group’s members would re-emerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire. Extensive archival material, including, photographs, film footage and FBI documents are interwoven with modern-day interviews to trace the group’s path, from its pitched battles with police on Chicago’s streets, to its bombing of the U.S. Capitol, to itssuccessful endeavour breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison. The film explores the Weathermen in the context of other social movements of the time and features interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panthers. It also examines the U.S. government’s suppression of dissent in the 1960s and 1970s.
