Like a cross between the Weather Underground and Waco: The Rules
of Engagement, this compelling documentary covers the complete and
controversial history of the radical MOVE organization. With archival
footage capturing the group evolving from protests and demonstrations
into riots, barricades, and self-fortification, to the still now
astonishing police actions to stop them. Created in Philadelphia
by John Africa in the 1970’s, the story is told through interviews
with actual Move members including Ramona Africa, the Move 9 prisoners
and Move supporters, and analysed by it’s neighbours, Philadelphia
journalists and others. Move is narrated by Howard Zinn, author of “The
People’s History of the United States”.
