Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

SAT 3pm
Documentary: The Weather Underground
Sam Green (San Francisco CA), 92:30, 2002.
The late 1960s and 70s were a time a civil unrest in America that saw the birth of the Weather Underground, a group of several hundred young men and women who tried to violently over throw the American government. The film chronicles the group as they battled police, bombed the US capital, broke Timothy Leary out of jail, and, for nearly a decade, evaded the FBI in one of the largest manhunts in US history. Fresh insights on the events and players combine with compelling archival film to produce a gripping account of the time and its aftermath, both personal and political.
