The Oscar-nominated documentary film follows the rise and fall of the 1960s student group that tried to violently overthrow the US government. Find out the real story behind Barack Obama's "terrorist pal" Bill Ayers! Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the government throughout much of the 1970s—bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history. The Weather Underground is a feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to “bring the war home.” Starring Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert, Brian Flanagan, Laura Whitehorn, Naomi Jaffe, Kathleen Cleaver and Todd Gitlin.
