| The Weather Underground. Prod. and dir. by Sam Green and Bill Siegel. The Free History Project, 2003. 92 mins.
|
| Nominated for an Academy Award, the documentary film The Weather Underground provides a sympathetic portrayal of the revolutionary Weatherman faction that gained control over the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) during the student organization's 1969 Chicago national convention. The filmmakers Sam Green and Bill Siegel use archival footage to establish the historical context for the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s; however, the film relies primarily on former members of the Weather UndergroundBill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Brian Flanagan, David Gilbert, Naomi Jaffe, Mark Rudd, and Laura Whitehornto tell their own stories. |
