I’m going to read a declaration of a state of war. Within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice.” – Bernardine Dohrn   With these words a group of young American radicals called The Weathermen announced their intention to overthrow the US government, fuelled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America. Born out of the student resistance movement that saw massive protest in 1968, they went underground during the 1970s, bombing targets across the country that they felt symbolised “the real violence” that the US government and capitalist power were wreaking throughout the world. From pitched battles with police on Chicago’s city streets, to bombing the US Capitol building, to breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison, this carefully organised clandestine network attempted to incite a national revolution, while successfully evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.  The Weather Underground interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the incredible story of this radical movement. As former members reflect candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to “bring the war home”, they paint a compelling portrait of troubled and revolutionary times, with unexpected and often striking connections to the current world situation.Haringey Independent Cinema
