Summary: Interesting and Well made.
Review: This is a very well made movie, the film makers managed to string together just the right amount of old footage and audio with new and isightful interviews with ex-weathermen. It is realy fasinateing what these people went on to do and how diverse their current world views are. Over all i give it 4.6 stars.P.S. Acording to this movie and Bill Ayers (who i spoke with in person) the weather underground never killed anyone, with the exception of 3 of their own members who died when a bomb they where makeing shorted out.

Summary: Glorification and regret of 70's Protestor terrorists
Review: This was a great film that allows the 70's protestor terrorists to reflect upon their actions in the full context of history. This is a timely film considering the resurgence of the protestors who will claim to have the "moral high ground" while rationalizing everything to fit their own emotions and their emotions are anything but rational. Many of the members of the weather underground held the premise that the US is the source of all evil in the world and that a communist revolution was the key to more humane society, this ideology is still present in the so-called peace movements, this should be a history lesson to anyone who thinks that this idea is the answer to the ills of society. You would think that after they woke up from their bad trip they would have learned something but several members wished they could do it all over again, its obvious these people are in a time warp who base their ideals on emotion, infatuation with a revolution and hatred of the US more than on social justice and equality which is their so-called struggle. It's unfortunate that these people are living in an outdated paradigm and seem to have become a permanent fixture of the degenerate left.

Summary: Not Bias
Review: Weather Underground doesn not seemed to be a bias look at the organization. It doesnt say their actions were good, they let the people speak for themselves. An interesting film on US history.

Summary: Excellent primer on political power in america
Review: Well, I see the conservatives have properly condemmed these people profiled in this movie. Yes, their moral outrage is quite stirring. I wonder, however, where such outrage was when the KKK was killing African-Americans at will, almost as if sanctioned by the government itself? Or when Native Americans where massacred at Wounded Knee? Any outrage there, all you fine Republicans?
These were young, highly intelligent people who had internalized American ideals far more than most people who call themselves patriots. When they saw the racism and chauvinism that permeated American society, the moral discrepancy was too much for them. They became radicalized, not by fellow travelers, but by a society that had betrayed itself.
Yes, times have changed. The Vietnam war is over, although I still hear many on the right talk about how we still could have "won" that "war". This, of course, missed the point entitrely. There was no "war"; it was a police action that had no moral compass. True, South Vietnam fell to communism. Has the domino theory continued? Did all the other counties in the area also fall? No, they did not.
I was struck by the fact that not ONE innocent person was ever killed by the bombings, only 3 members of the underground themseves. Can the FBI or CIA claim the same?

Summary: belief put into action
Review: You know something is dreadfully wrong. People are being senselessly murdered by the hundreds of thousands in a war being waged by your government. What is the correct reaction? This tight little documentary focuses in on the ethical ambiguity inherent in both activism and non-activism. In acting upon convictions, one takes the bold, but also dangerous and, perhaps, presumptuous position that his/her convictions are right. On the other hand, to not act upon one's convictions renders them meaningless and possibly the concept of personal responsibility (is there really any other kind?) as well. It is an interesting paradox which is, of course, left unanswered by the film. Belief put into action - that's terrorism, right?
