Imagine: The Weather Underground
Posted by alejandozuluaga48 on July 5, 2009
imagine for a second that you are in the sixties,
imagine that the Vietnam War is happening and the world is going into Chaos,
that people are being killed in a foreign country and soldiers are being shipped in caskets,
imagine the Cold War, Communism, Cuba and nuclear missils in the verge of a holocaust
imagine the Civil Rights movement, the Feminist Movemement, the GLTBQ liberation front,
the re-awekening of first nations… imagine
What would you have done being young and smart as you are?
imagine all this… and then you realize you dont have to imagine it,
it is still happening, today, as we speak,
and it will probably get worse…
you must do something about it.
This film i find very relevant to the process of understanding the potential of human beings as these young idealists did unthinkable radical actions in the U.S. and made an important breakthrough in my mind, after watching this film. They did the unthinkable in an unthinkable place, during rough times. Imagine… what we could do today, in these unthinkable places, during these really rough times… it is amazing.
