Summary:The Sixth Side of the Pentagon (1968): On October 21, 1967, over 100,000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C., for the mobilization to end the war in Vietnam. It was the largest protest gathering yet, and it brought together a cross-section of liberals, radicals, hippies and Yippies. For many it was the transition from simply marching against the war, to taking direct action to stop the "American war machine." [Cover]
The Embassy (1973): Shot by an anonymous filmmaker with a Super-8 camera, "The Embassy" is a vignette about political dissidents seeking refuge in a foreign embassy after a military coup d'état in an unidentified country. The cameraman provides a voice-cover commentary as, over the course of several increasingly tense days, more people fleeing the military assault arrive at the embassy. [Cover]
