Breathing Together: Revolution of the Electric Family(1971)
Breathing Together: Revolution of the Electric Family Synopsis
The title of this Canadian documentary may have some relation to Canadian Marshall McLuhan's theories. It combines interview with famous U.S. militants of the '60s, such as Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, with reenactments of their Chicago trials (i.e., the "Chicago Eight," etc.). Other figures of cultural interest from the time, including Alan Ginsberg and Buckminster Fuller, are interviewed or featured. The filmmaker indicates his belief that powerful forces in the U.S. government worked together to suppress American radicals. This view, widely disbelieved at the time, has since been confirmed.
Breathing Together: Revolution of the Electric Family (1971) is a documentary film directed by Morley Markson, released on April 11, 1971 with a runtime of 1h 24m. It stars Don Cox, Buckminster Fuller, Allen Ginsberg and Fred Hampton. Viewers rate it 6.5 out of 10 across 4 ratings.
