Guerrilla-The Taking of Parry Hearst - dvd
GUERRILLA is an unprecedented account of the
Symbionese Liberation Army, arguably the most
otorious and flamboyant terrorist group in
American history.
Dedicated to the rights of black prisoners and the
working class, the S.L.A. set forth in 1973 to incite
the violent overthrow of the US government,
brilliantly manipulating the mass media to advance
their message. Their audacious kidnapping of Patty
Hearst, the young heiress of her family's newspaper
empire, inspired what might be described as the
first true media 'frenzy,' one that only exploded
further when Patty transformed into "Tania" and
joined the ranks of the S.L.A. Every detail of their
descent into the surreal outer limits of political
extremism was played out in public, a spectable
foreshadowing some of the worst excesses of
modern TV journalism.
