	The Weather Underground Documentary: No Regrets EDWARD GUTHMANN / SF Chronicle 21jul03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Former member of the Weather Underground, poster girl for militant, revolution-spouting anarchy, she is now the mother of three and a professor of law at Northwestern University in Chicago.
		She lives a quiet life in Chicago with her husband, Bill Ayers, a fellow veteran of the Weather Underground and a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and takes care of her 91-year-old mother, who is in the last stages of Alzheimer's.
		His parents, former Weather Underground members Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, are maximum-security inmates in the New York state prison system, incarcerated for their roles in a 1981 Brink's robbery in upstate New York, in which a guard and two police officers were killed.

	Weather Underground--Main Page
		The Weather Underground is a feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI's most wanted list.
		Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s--bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world.
		Ultimately, the group's carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group's members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire.

	MediaRights: News: The Weather Underground
		This film tells the story of the rise and fall of the Weather Underground, a group of idealistic young people who tried to violently overthrow the US government during the late 60's and 70's.
		For almost a decade, the members of the Weather Underground were fugitives who carried out a campaign of symbolic bombings of government and corporate buildings — including the US Capitol, the Pentagon, and more than 20 other targets -- to protest the American government's actions in Vietnam and at home.
		During its era, the members of the Weather Underground were notorious — the group's bombings were national news and most people over forty remember the story well.

		The Weather Underground, a documentary by Sam Green (Pie Fight '69, The Rainbow Man) and Bill Siegel, tracks their history, and has interviews with the members today.
		Battle came in the form of a series of bombings, usually accompanied by some sort of note or message identifying the Weather Underground as the instigators and proclaiming what the bombing was in response to.

		Weather enthusiasts range from retired meteorologists to self-taught amateurs, and the Web has given them a world of resources and a place to create a community.
		The emphasis is on consumer weather products, both free and paid, that allow users to tailor forecasts to their neighborhoods, sign up for severe weather alerts, get forecasts to help make travel plans or cope with allergies, as well as track hurricanes.
		This forum for fans of the Weather Channel is home not to weather junkies but to people who want to chat about topics that range from storm video to which on-air meteorologist is pregnant.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		Sam Green and Bill Siegel's "The Weather Underground," a feature-length portrait of the ambitions and failures of the radical group, turns out to be more topical today than the pair had imagined, with the parameters of protest against a potential, unpopular war once again under discussion.
		"The Weather Underground" charts both the ideas and outrage of the group in interviews with Underground members who have moved on to other careers, including Northwestern University Law School faculty member Bernardine Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayers, author of "Fugitive Days," his memoir of time spent hiding underground.
		There's also the fact that the story of the Weather Underground is not easily understood, much less articulated on film, or even in any other way.

	The Weather Underground
		The film effectively crosscuts interviews with veterans of the Weather Underground and stock footage of their press conferences from the 1970s, when they were in the news as much as the Black Panthers or the Yippies.
		The Weathermen were being driven into the underground and obscurity, while we had over 1500 members and branches in every city in the country.
		Announcing in 1976 that the working class in the USA was more radical than at any time in the 20th century, the party leaders--who were as pigheaded in their own way as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn--dispatched the membership into factories and out of the mass movement, where they had been so effective.

		The Weather Underground, a 1970’s-era violent Communist entity, in total, was responsible for the bombings of the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Capitol Building, the New York City Police Headquarters, and the Pentagon.
		Initial members of the Weather Underground differed from SDS in their perceived means of transforming the U.S. into a Communist country, and in 1969, the group split from SDS, steered by aspirations of a more violent rebellion against the principals of America.
		Three decades later, and the Weather Underground is still threatening the U.S., and the Communist-apologist, John Kerry, is curiously running for President.

		I was struck by the film of the weather underground members once the Vietnam war ended, and they all started turning themselves in.
		This fanatical devotion to the cause seen by the Weather Underground participants is no different from that expressed by other modern day terrorists including Timothy McVeigh, the extreme Zionists in Palestine in the 1940's, or young Islamist suicide bombers.

	Ron Jacobs: Thinking About the Weather Underground
		Weather and the New Left's championing of issues of race and gender was a welcome and necessary departure from the Eurocentrism of earlier Leftist theory.
		Weather's (and the New Left's) fascination with the struggles of the Third World was understandable given the romantic vision of the movement and the considerable number of revolutionary struggles occurring in those countries at the time.
		Since my history of the Weather Underground, The Way the Wind Blew, was published in 1997, I have received many letters from participants in the aforementioned movements, most of them from youth.

	AlterNet: Uncovering the Weather Underground
		It’s hard for many veteran leftists to uncurl their lips on hearing the phrase “Weather Underground.” A home-grown terrorist movement with pretensions to Third World revolution, it grabbed the headlines with bombings punctuating ’70s history and stigmatized the entire range of left activism until its leaders surrendered in disarray.
		The Weather Underground is not a wide-angle history film; it doesn’t even claim to give you movement history.
		Green was attracted as a child to the Weather Underground as part of what he now calls his “false nostalgia” for the ’60s.

		A new documentary, The Weather Underground, directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel, traces the life and death of the organization.
		Full of fascinating vintage footage and interviews with former members of the Underground, the film manages to convey the reasons for that mystique—even as it recognizes how Sept. 11 has made their crusade even less appealing than it was at the time.

	The Weather Underground (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Weather Underground presents a well-balanced view of the militant faction of the 1960s anti-war group that orchestrated a series of direct actions (including bombings) in protest of the Vietnam War and American imperialism.
		At the screening I attended the audience had the good fortune of listening to two of the Weather Underground's key members in person: Bernadette Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
		This proved particularly interesting, as both individuals, while still espousing their anti-militarism/anti-imperialism views to strong effect, did not express the need for radical tactics as one would imagine they may (given the current climate gripping the nation).

		The 1960s saw the rise of militant leftists in the United States, and directors Green and Siegel trace the existence of a small but notorious group whose stated aim was violent revolution in the United States.
