Breathing Together Revolution of the Electric Family
The title of this Canadian documentary may have some relation to Canadian Marshall McLuhans theories It combines interview with famous US militants of the 60s such as Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman with reenactments of their Chicago trials ie the Chicago Eight etc Other figures of cultural interest from the time including Alan Ginsberg and Buckminster Fuller are interviewed or featured The filmmaker indicates his belief that powerful forces in the US government worked together to suppress American radicals This view widely disbelieved at the time has since been confirmed
