Summary
This documentary exposes illegal surveillance, disruption, and outright murder committed by the U.S. government in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Many of the government's crimes are still unknown. Through interviews with activists who experienced these abuses first-hand, and with rare historical footage, the film provides an educational introduction to a period of intense repression that draws relevant lessons for present and future movements. Includes interviews with Muhammad Ahmad, Bob Boyle, Kathleen Cleaver, Ward Churchill, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Priscilla Falcon, Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt, Jose Lopez, Francisco "Kiko" Martinez, Lucy Rodriguez, Ricardo Romero, Akinyele Umoja, and Laura Whitehorn.
