1968: 40 Years Later
A Film Series

The Weather Underground (2002, 92 min.) is an Oscar Nominated documentary that follows the rise and fall of the Weather Underground - a group of several hundred young women and men who tried to violently overthrow the American government during the late 1960s and 70s. Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, the Weathermen battled police in the streets, bombed the US Capitol and two dozen other buildings, and broke Timothy Leary out of prison. For almost a decade, they lived underground and evaded one of the largest FBI manhunts in US history. In this film, former members of the Weather Underground speak candidly about their own thoughts and experiences­many for the first time ever. What drove the group to embrace violence? How did violence affect their cause? How did it change them? And how do they feel about their actions thirty years later?
