The War at Home

Screening on Film
Directed by Barry Brown and Glenn Silber.
US, 1979, 16mm, color and b&w, 100 min.

Tracing the emergence of the 60s and 70s antiwar movement, this Oscar-nominated documentary recalls a time when a significant number of US citizens forcefully opposed their government. The events that took place at the University of Madison at Wisconsin—including the bombing of the Army Math Research Center by four angry students—serve as a microcosm of the growing nationwide protest, and numerous interviews with activists help separate the stereotypes about protestors from the real people behind the movement.
