The Weather Underground
Loading...
Uploaded by bavc on Jan 7, 2008
In 1969, a small group of college students announced their intentions to overthrow the U.S. government in opposition to the Vietnam War. This documentary explores the rise and fall of this radical movement as former
members speak candidly about the passion that drove them at the time. The film also explores the group in the context of other social movements of the time, featuring interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panther Party. The documentary also examines the U.S. government's suppression of dissent during this turbulent era. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s, the film also intersperses recent interviews with high profile ex-Weathermen like Bernardine Dohrn, David Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd and Brian Flanagan, who talk about their involvement in the organization, their experiences, and the trajectory that led them to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list.

There is something to be said about having solidarity with other people. Its a great feeling when you join forces with a bunch of other people and share in a conflict of sorts. Ive recently made some really good friends that way. One of the problems with our country is that its very polarized. There isnt enough unity!

Regardless, change is needed. Healthcare, education, and the economy are three areas that need change desperately!

Kids don't seem to appreciate the finer things in life, like they use to in the 60's

Tawpdawg, you can't even spell Billy Ayers name or terrorist. The only terrorist in the US in 69 was the government killing thousands every month in SE Asia. Go back to school.

"The most violent society that history's ever created"
Not to downplay the violence of the 50's, 60's amd 70's but its ridiculous to make such a claim. I can think of several other far more violent societies
