October 8 - 8:15pm
Loeb Wiess (1968) 68 mins
This highly effective documentary draws thick-lined parallels between the peace & civil rights movements of the 1960s (& beyond). Weiss takes his 16mm camera into the thick of the Harlem Fall Mobilization March, an anti-Vietnam War procession held in New York. This action is anchored by the stories of 3 very angry black Vietnam veterans, articulately conveying their disillusionment with a system that simultaneously asks for their lives while denying their civil liberties.
