Are there any good documentaries on..

[KurtFF8]

The Communist/Socialist movement(s) in the United States? Aside from ones on the Black Panthers and The Weathermen I can't find too much about the early Communist movement or even the New Communist Movement (or even one just on SDS for that matter)

If anyone knows anything good please recommend something.

There are a two on particular American leftist individuals:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldman/filmmore/index.html

that also talk about the broader movements of the time.

Also there's Children of the left, about kids growing up communist in America.

apparently, sacha baron cohen is going to portray abbie hoffman in a film entitled "the trial of the chicago 7". but i don't know if it's going to be biased against them.

It doesn't appear very cheap though, so I would recommend that you try and get it from a library.

Just picking up on what someone said earlier

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1070874/ The trial of the chicago seven

Sacha Baron Cohen and Abbie Hoffman and Will Smith and Bobby Seale and Kevin Spacey rumoured.

It'd be interesting to see what slant the film takes.

Thanks for the links.

There's also a film that has been released in some places (although I still can't get my hands on a copy) called Chicago 10 which is about the trials
