This wasn't the greatest doc in the world, but it's hampered by not having an up-to-date interview with Patricia Hearst, the subject being examined by filmmaker Robert Stone.
As someone who was active in this period (the 'tumultuous' 1960s and '70s), I think the film offers an accurate depiction of the unrest that spread throughout the world as young and old took to the streets and denounced the powerful who brokered in human oppression.
After almost two years of living with the 'enemy,' the precious Patty Hearst was released. She recanted and told the world how much she had been 'brainwashed' by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Through powerful political influences, she served less than two years in jail, then went back to the protective bosom of the very system that the SLA, and Hearst herself, were fighting against.
The people shown to be the REAL buffoons in this film are the FBI, CIA, the army, and various police forces. Although only a ragtag outfit with barely seven members at its zenith, the SLA went all but undetected, with Hearst in tow, for almost two years.
This was a depressing film for me personally. I look around me now and see nothing but mindless, conformist kids and adult children who think happiness can't be achieved unless they get ever-newer versions of i-Pods, i-Phones, or a multitude of other gadgets every two weeks. Resistance has left and gone away. Not many people stand up to be counted any more. And no, returning something to the Gap is not an act of rebellion.
