from O.R.C.A.
A group of Philly anti-war activists turned burglars broke into an FBI office and made off with documents. They exposed the bureau’s notorious COINTELPRO and never got caught!
1971 follows up with them decades later and goes into how they planned the action and how their break-in changed the way we understand surveillance today.
Witness what is possible when a dedicated group of people decide to take on the feds, against a backdrop of Philly’s radical and progressive movements and cultures during the 60s and 70s.
