The Camden 28

http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2007/camden28/index.html

While some may have heard of the Secaucus 7, fewer still may be aware of the
Camden 28. In the summer of 1971, a group of antiwar activists had been
arrested in Camden, New Jersey as they attempted to break in and vandalize a
local draft board office. Their number included four Catholic priests and
other religious leaders, and they soon became known as the "Camden 28". This
POV film from PBS takes a look into the events of that fateful summer and
also reports on the lives of these activists today. Visitors to the site can
watch a trailer for the documentary, read an interview with the film's
creator, Anthony Giacchino, and learn more about the process of making the
film. Visitors should also browse on over to the "Resources" area, here they
can watch extended interviews and additional scenes from the film and also
listen to a podcast.
