Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: "CAMDEN 28"
Film: “CAMDEN 28” (83 min, Anthony Giacchino)
Anthony Giacchino's suspenseful, tautly constructed documentary THE CAMDEN 28 recounts one of the 20th Century's most fascinating trials. In 1971, a group of anti-war protesters decided to take action in Camden, New Jersey. Their target: the local draft board office, where they intended to destroy as much vital paperwork as possible. But during their assault, authorities barged in and stopped them in their tracks. Clearly, they had been set up. The ensuing trial sparked a passionate court room debate.
