Summer 68

Newsreel
1968 United States 60 minutes English

Draft resistance organizing in Boston, a Boston organizer’s trip to North Vietnam — a GI. coffeehouse in Texas, Newsreel’s take over of Channel 13 in New York — following the production of the Rat’s special issue on Chicago — and Chicago during the Democratic Convention, the planning and carrying out of five days of protest. Each section focuses on an organizer central to each project–the attempt is to define the nature of commitment to “the Movement” against a backdrop of 1968’s summer activities.
