Twentieth Century Flicks presents this rare screening of Oscar-winning socialist cinematographer Haskell Wexler‘s provocative and ambitious feature debut, which sets out to fuse cinema verite drama with ’60s political radicalism.
Robert Forster plays a jaded news cameraman whose political conscience is slowly awakened as he covers all kinds of social unrest, including the riots at the Democrat Convention in Chicago. History records that Wexler was actually accused of inciting the riots.
