Johanna Hamilton co-wrote and directed "1971" (2014). The film tells the story of people we now call the "Media Eight." These were eight extraordinarily brave people who risked long prison terms by breaking into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania on March 8, 1971.



I feel like anyone who remembers this time period would find this documentary interesting. As well as the few M/TV posters who enjoyed "CITIZENFOUR". Here is the trailer and full documentary

Thanks for the tip. Watched this last night. Amazing that the FBI was this careless, amazing that these people didn't get caught.

probably could use something similar today to see what the FBI is doing v. right wing groups

I wonder if somebody who did that would be a "hero".

Well when Snowdon was finally discovered. The media painted him in a bad light. It's been said that the CIA clearly had a hand in doing this.
