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. (Event is FREE and open to the public! ...but Donations are kindly accepted).
full description & details:
Featuring a treasure of archival materials and current interviews with former FBI agents involved in the case and scholars such as Howard Zinn. THE CAMDEN 28 is a story about a potent act of dissent that has special relevance for our current political climate.
