Awards: Florida Film Festival - Best Documentary Feature
For those of us old enough to remember the 60’s and 70’s, Guerrilla will be a painful trip down memory lane. For the younger crowd, it will provide shocking insights into terrorism on our home turf and the federal government’s spy machine. Patty Hearst was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Because she was part of a dynasty of publishing magnates, her capture/kidnapping by the SLA began as a sort of lark aimed at making a point about poverty in the US. But it turned into guerrilla theatre when Patty joined forces with her captors to participate in a rampage of bank robberies and killing. Was she brainwashed or willingly acting out of misguided good intentions? Hearst was eventually “saved,” but her story did not officially end until the administrations of President Carter and Clinton. If you find yourself reflecting of current events in this Presidential election year, it will not be purely coincidental. ~ Nick Salerno
