The Weather Underground leaves the viewer with many questions. To the filmmakers' credit, most of them are the right and urgent ones to ask.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Their story is history they don't teach in school, which makes The Weather Underground all the more welcome.
Boston Herald
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Whose side the documentarians are on is never clear -- in a muddy rather than an ambiguous way. Did anyone die from the Weathermen's bombings? We don't find out here.

A remarkable journey.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Over forty years ago young American radicals called The Weathermen announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. Fueled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America, they went underground during the 1970s, bombing targets across the country that they felt symbolized the real violence that the U.S. government and capitalist power were wreaking throughout the world. Sam Green's award-winning film interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the group's incredible story. As former members reflect candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to bring the war home, they paint a compelling portrait of troubled and revolutionary times, with unexpected and often striking connections to the current world situation.
