What Is Underground About?
The premise of Underground without spoilers.
A 1976 documentary captures the Weather Underground, a militant offshoot of the 1960s Students for a Democratic Society which sought to overthrow the U.S. government. It blends interviews with former members who went into hiding and archival anti‑war and civil‑rights protest footage. Directed by Emile de Antonio, Haskell Wexler and Mary Lampson, the film was later subpoenaed by the FBI, which sought to seize its footage.
