The Weather Underground

A film by Sam Green & Bill Siegel

The explosive story of America’s most notorious revolutionaries.

When the Beatles land in America in the early 1960s, young men wearing their hair long strike the nation as an abomination. But within a few years, youthful rebellion grows more severe: Witness the Weathermen, the radical antiwar activists who mobilize (unsuccessfully) to overthrow the U.S. government. With contemporary interviews and archival footage, this documentary elucidates the Weather Underground’s controversial history and continuing significance.
