DESCRIPTION:New College Anti-War Film Fest\nWed - Fri, Oct. 24-26, 1:30-3:30pm\nNew 
 College Cultural Center\n766 Valencia St., SF, Free!      \nIn advance of 
 the Anti-War March this Saturday, \nActivism & Social Change will be 
 showing the following films:\n\nThe Camden 28 (Wed) - In the early-morning 
 hours of Sunday, August 22, 1971, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and Attorney 
 General John Mitchell announced that FBI agents had arrested 20 antiwar 
 activists in and near a draft board office in Camden, New Jersey. Five days 
 later, Mitchell made public the indictment of these individuals and 
 included eight others who were linked to the break-in. The major charges 
 against the group were conspiracy to remove and destroy files from the 
 draft board, FBI office, and the Army Intelligence office; destruction of 
 government property and interfering with the Selective Service system. If 
 convicted, some of the indicted faced up to 47 years in federal prison. The 
 men and women arrested that summer of ’71 in Camden called themselves 
 “America’s conscience.” The government called them the Camden 
 28.\n\nCatch 22 (Thurs) - Based on Joseph Heller's critically acclaimed, 
 best-selling novel, CATCH-22 is Mike Nichols's provocative antiwar satire 
 that tells the frenetic tale of a group of World War II fliers trapped in 
 the insanity of the Mediterranean. The "catch-22" of the title deals with a 
 military snafu that results when Yossarian (Alan Arkin), a bombardier in 
 the war, attempts to get out of the military by feigning insanity. Yet the 
 simple fact that he is able to acknowledge his own mortality automatically 
 renders him sane. Frustrated into submission, the frazzled Yossarian must 
 return to the frontlines to watch his friends and compatriots die off one 
 by one.\n\nThe War at Home (Fri) - An acclaimed documentary, The War at 
 Home reveals what happened in Madison, Wisconsin during most of the 1960s 
 and the early '70s when students and the community began to protest the 
 Vietnam War. The film chronicles the awakening and growth of the Vietnam 
 protest movement in the United States, from a handful of politically active 
 students, to the street confrontations at the 1968 Democratic Convention in 
 Chicago, to the killings at Kent State. Through both newsreel and current 
 footage, we follow participants from all sides - students, police, and 
 political figures of the time - as they face each other in growing 
 confrontation.\n\n
