Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, the Weathermen battled police in the streets, bombed the US Capitol and two dozen other buildings, and broke Timothy Leary out of prison. For almost a decade, they lived underground and evaded one of the largest FBI manhunts in US history. In this film, former members of the Weather Underground speak candidly about their own thoughts and experiences - many for the first time ever. What drove the group to embrace violence? How did violence affect their cause? How did it change them? And how do they feel about their actions thirty years later?

There were rallies for immigrants throughout the United States Thursday. According to the Chicago Tribune,
“Turnout “Turnout has fallen sharply since the first nationwide rallies in 2006, when more than 1 million people --
at at least 400,000 in Chicago alone -- clogged streets and brought downtown traffic to a standstill. About 15,000
people people rallied in Chicago in one of the largest demonstrations of the day.”
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of workers across the world took part in celebrations and protests to mark
