the weather underground

[pedro san pedro]

anyone seen this? saw it the other night. true story about a group of extreme students who break away from their union, get a little out there, go underground, and start a bombing campaign in the states, orginally to protest vietnam, then move onto other targets.
shows a lot about how they get to this point, how society percieves and marginlises them, and also interviews ex weathermen in the present.

it said a lot to me about how violent actions, at this point in time in the western world, marginlise movements and detract from their message

Yeah the Weather underground helped Abbie Hoffman with cash and advice when he went underground. It's a good group.
