This compilation of French- and Nazi-produced newsreel footage documents France's collaboration with Nazi Germany during WWII, including the invasion of France and General Petain's pact with Adolf Hitler. Compiled by French master filmmaker Claude Chabrol, this chilling and fascinating documentary presents never-before-seen footage that brutally and ironically exposes the huge role that the French Vichy government had in helping the Nazis exterminate French Jews. The footage also shows just how far Vichy leaders went to convince the citizens of France to side with Germany during the war. Chabrol crafts a sly and shocking counterpoint between the actual historical narrative of France's actions under German occupation and the propaganda produced during the time, playing image against narration to achieve a devastating irony. Chabrol, whose 1988 film STORY OF WOMEN depicted a Frenchwoman's struggle during the Vichy era, returns to the subject and provides a voluminous and articulate portrayal of the moral and physical chaos that gripped Paris during its occupation and the horrible ramifications that ensued.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.66Single Side - Dual LayerAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

This intensely captivating documentary from directors Bill Siegel and Sam Green focuses on the radical political activist group the Weathermen, who organized in the 1960s to protest the Vietnam War. With roots in a group called Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Weathermen represented a small faction of political-minded protesters who believed that in order to avoid being marginalized and ignored by the US government, they would need to take violent action. Speaking out with clear goals to intentionally inflict violence, their slogan was Bring the War Home, indicating that they would mimic on US turf the violence that US troops were ordered to carry out in Vietnam. They organized bombings--sometimes botching their plans horribly and causing unintended casualties--that put them on the Most Wanted list of the FBI. In turn, they split up and went underground, trying to avoid prosecution while continuing to plan violent protests. While THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND takes a fascinating look at the wildly daring tactics and philosophies that this group used to try to make a change; it also comments on the group's failures and its irresponsible methods. Some of the most revelatory moments of the film come from other political activist groups, such as the Black Panthers, reflecting back on the actions of the Weathermen, and, in hindsight, looking at the group's practices with new perspective.
