Sam Green and Bill Siegel have created this informative documentary about The Weather Underground, a resistance formed primarily by upper-middle-class college students, during the Nixon administration. This organized group would do what ever it took to put a stop to the Vietnam War. This included committing acts of violence to get their point across.

Most of the film is comprised of present day interviews and actual Weather Ground rally footage. The Weather Underground is a fascinating perspective on Vietnam, although I'm sure there are many out there that would find this movie and it's focus un-American. Of course, freedom of speech and freedom of expression are two of the things that make this country so great.

I found The Weather Underground very educational and interesting in it's depiction of a group of men and woman who would commit violence to stop violence, and while that may seem like a ridiculous notion, it's something that's been going on for years and years.

While I hardly agreed with many of the methods put forth by this spirited group, I admire their conviction. And while I don't feel they were justified in many of their actions, they were doing what they felt was right in really dark times.

The Weather Underground is a terrific history lesson, and an observant piece on what some people were willing to give up to make this world a better place to live in.

On a side note, there is one piece of archival footage in this picture that features Dustin Hoffman standing at the scene of a bombing.
