With calls to "resist" saturating our landscape, the lessons of successful resistances of the past have never been more valuable. This is especially the case of the Weather Underground Organization, whose revolutionary activities of the late 1960s and early 1970s aimed to destroy the US government's imperialist policies as well as promote the Black Liberation Movement and socialist ideals.

Organization co-founders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, in a conversation moderated by Prof. Toby Lee (NYU Cinema Studies), bring the knowledge gained from their past work to inform an efficacious radicality for the contemporary moment.

Preceded by a screening of select clips from the Weather Underground's history.
