Documentary: Civil Rights in Black and White: American Revolution Two
A gritty but essential documentary charting social turbulence in late 1960s Chicago. The film includes footage of the 1968 Democratic Convention protest and riot, a critique of the events by working class African Americans in Chicago, and attempts by the Black Panther Party to organize poor, southern white youths on the city's north side. Using direct sound, a handheld camera, no script, black-and-white film stock, and natural lighting, the directors' no-frills approach appropriately reflects the raw energy of this upheaval. (Mike Gray/Howard Alk, 1969, 76 mins).
