Review

 

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.

Wreaking mayhem in the streets for over 48 hours, this was the first coordinated demonstration by The Weathermen, the notorious radical political group of the 1970s. Fueled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America, they went underground throughout much of the 70s to wage a low-level war against the U.S. Government. From bombing the U.S. Capitol building to breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison, this carefully organized clandestine network staged a national revolution, all the while successfully managing to evade one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.
