The task of making a film about a collective of underground radicals is seemingly impossible. Yet de Antonio, in collaboration with Mary Lampson and noted cinematographer Haskell Wexler, devised a way to tell the story of the Weather Underground, the most wanted countercultural insurgents in the country. The filmmakers conducted interviews with the Weatherpeople with their backs facing the camera in order to protect their respective identities. Combining these interviews with archival footage of revolutionary figures from around the world, de Antonio and his mini-collective fashioned a powerful statement of protest which provided a direct challenge to the media’s representation of this radical group. Despite efforts of the FBI to confiscate the film footage, de Antonio prevailed by invoking legal statutes designed to protect journalists from revealing sources.
