The Weather Underground the explosive story of America's most notorious revolutionaries

In 1970, a group of young American radicals called The Weathermen announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. Fueled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America, they went underground during the 1970s, bombing targets across the country. From pitched battles with police on Chicago's city streets, to bombing the U.S. Capitol building, to breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison, this organized clandestine network attempted to incite a national revolution. This documentary interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews.

  • "A documentary on the radical group the Weatherman. In the early '70s, this bomb-planting fringe group had the distinction of being as alienated from the anti-war counterculture as the counterculture movement was from the rest of America. The group planned to blow up an empty building, but on March 6, 1970, an explosive accidentally went off in Greenwich Village killing three of its own members and turning the rest of its members into outlaws on the run. Includes interviews with the former members: Bill Ayers, Kathleen Cleaver, Bernardine Dohrn, Brian Flanagan, David Gilbert, Naomi Jaffe, Mark Rudd, Laura Whitehorn and Todd Gitlin."@en

  • "In 1970, a group of young American radicals called The Weathermen announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. Fueled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America, they went underground later in the decade, bombing targets across the country that they felt symbolized the real violence that the government and capitalist power were wreaking throughout the world. From pitched battles with police on Chicago's city streets, to bombing the U.S. Capitol building, to breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison, this carefully organized clandestine network attempted to incite a national revolution, while successfully evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history. This Oscar-nominated documentary interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the group's incredible story. The group planned to blow up an empty building, but on March 6, 1970, an explosive accidentally went off in the New York Greenwich Village area, killing three of its own members and turning the rest of its members into outlaws on the run. 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."

  • ""Ala fin des années 60 en Amérique, une poignée d'étudiants issus de la "middle-class", révoltés par la guerre au Vietnam et par les sévices perpétrés à l'encontre des minorités se rassemblent pour créer "The Weather Underground", une formation armée révolutionnaire ayant pour but de renverser avec violence - le gouvernement en place. Ce film est la chronique d'une lutte menée contre l'administration américaine par les Weathermen et marquée par de nombreux attentats, notamment contre le Capitole, le Pentagone, le Département d'Etat, et des agences du FBI."

  • "In October 1969 hundreds of young people, clad in football helmets and wielding lead pipes, marched through an upscale Chicago shopping district, pummeling parked cars and smashing shop windows in their path. This was the first demonstration of the Weather Underground's Days of Rage. Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, the organization waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history. The Weather Underground is a feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to bring the war home and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI's most wanted list. "A great story! The young, violent, and glamorous anti-establishment militants of the 1960s. Terrifically smart!""@en
  • "This documentary was nominated for an Academy Award in 2004 and tells the story of an US organisation named the Weather Underground. Thirty years ago a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the US government. 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 Panthers, as well as examining the US government's suppression of dissent during this turbulent era. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s, The Weather Underground also intersperses recent interviews with high-profile ex-Weathermen like Bernadine Dohrn, David Gilbert and Bill Ayers, Mike Rudd and Brian Flanagan, who talk about their involvement in the organisation and their experiences, as well as the trajectory that led them to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list.
