4.0 out of 5 stars A rare look at this unique group., December 9, 1999

This review is from: Underground [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a very well done documentary despite what appeared to be some incooperation from the participants. It's a shame the Weather Underground members didn't want their faces shown. It would've been great to see their expressions as they described their lives and beliefs. It is clear that the filmakers agree with the Weather Underground and they give an odd slant that revolution was getting closer than ever (the film was done in 1975), as the members suggested. But it still is educational.

5.0 out of 5 stars virtually impossible to find, November 7, 2008

This review is from: Underground [VHS] (VHS Tape)

By 1976 the Weathermen were essentially passe. This is the only documentary that I know of released while they were extant.

Given the GOP's recent insistence that we revisit this radical organization from the Viet Nam Era, it's odd that this exceedingly rare and unique film featuring the infamous Bill Ayers hasn't been released on DVD.
