What The Weather Underground Is About
Sam Green and Bill Siegel's 2002 documentary is about an armed group that broke away from the American student movement in the late sixties. Deciding that peaceful protest had not stopped the war in Vietnam, the members of the Weather Underground turned to bombings, chose government buildings as targets and gave warnings beforehand in an effort to avoid deaths. The film's strength is in the former members speaking from the present: some still argue they were right, others are startled by the certainty of their youth. It neither absolves nor condemns, presenting the explosion that killed three of their own as the turning point. News footage of the period and FBI records support the account. It was nominated for an Academy Award. Who it's for: viewers interested in political history and accounts of radicalisation. Who it's not for: anyone expecting a clear moral verdict; the film does not deliver one.
