MOVE    

Dir. Ben Garry, Ryan McKenna | 2004 | USA | 53 min | DVD

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”.
