Revolution `67
Wed. Nov. 28
UWM Union Theatre, 7:30 p.m.
A vivid and often uncomfortable account of the racial
unrest of the time, this new documentary from Marylou
Tibaldo-Bongiorno relives the spontaneous, six-day riot that
overwhelmed Newark, N.J., in the summer of 1967 and left
26 bodies in its wake. The film examines what triggered the
riot and who is responsible for these deaths, but ultimately
argues that racial tensions were so high at the time that an
insurrection was all but inevitable.
