1971 March 13 March 19, dir. Johanna Hamilton, History / Thriller / Documentary / News, Not rated, USA, English, 2015, 79 min.
Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Wiki-leaks. this, in movie speak, is the prequel...1971
On March 8, 1971, The Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI, as they called themselves, broke into a small FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, took every file, and shared them with the American public. These actions exposed COINTELPRO, the FBI's illegal surveillance program that involved the intimidation of law-abiding Americans and helped lead to the country's first Congressional investigation of U.S. intelligence agencies. Never caught, forty-three years later, these everyday Americans parents, teachers and citizens publicly reveal themselves for the first time and share their story in the documentary 1971.
For those of us whose political consciousness was forged by the Vietnam War the Media, PA break-in was a revelation and confirmation of all that we suspected.
For those youngerits says, don't believe their lies, they've been spying on us forever and still are.
