Title: A Vivid History Lesson
Review: Lots of incredible original, quality film from the 60s. It's amazing that the producers turned up so much. I'd recommend this disc to anyone to see it.Interspersed are talking heads reflecting on their time in "the movement." They are well-spoken and fairly inciteful. Some appeared in the vintage footage, a couple were leaders.The commentators occassionally offer self-critiques but we do not hear anything at all from those who were on the other side of the societal debate, so the film is very sympathetic to the left.It does go on a bit too long. Probably, they should have cut much of the segment on the Panthers and saved it for another film. Although it was one of the most insteresting parts, it was a bit of a digression in a film that I think should have been edited with more zeal.
