Movie Info

This remarkable documentary captures the social turbulence of 1960s Chicago, highlighted by footage of the protests and riots surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention. In the aftermath, the Black Panthers meet with the Young Patriots, a group of Southern whites living in Chicago, to discuss mutual concerns. Shot in gritty, handheld black-and-white by Howard Alk and Mike Gray, the film is a gripping chronicle of a time of upheaval.

Long before cell phones, laptops and i-Pods, there is striking memory of a time when undistracted humans actually listened to one another intently, and engaged in pure forms of mutual enlightenment and the illumination of political consciousness.

A documentary serving as a righteous corrective to media distortion, and omission of history as a popular social change work-in-progress.
