"an intelligently assembled documentary...a great story that had fallen into oblivion...terrifically smart and solid piece of filmmaking"
      -- Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times. Read this review.

"essential viewing, especially given that the more things change, the more they stay the same"
      -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, The San Francisco Examiner. Read this review.

There once was a time when Americans committed acts of terrorism in the name of peace. In the 1960's and 70's, there was a radical group of activists who called themselves the Weathermen and thought they were doing the right thing as they plotted to overthrow the U.S. government. This fascinating documentary tells their story through interviews and archival footage, so we may better understand what motivated them and why they failed to achieve their far-reaching goals. We gain some timely wisdom through reviewing a most disturbing chapter of our national history.
