DESCRIPTION:New College Anti-War Film Fest\nWed - Fri, Oct. 24-26, 1:30-3:30pm\nNew 
 College Cultural Center\n         766 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
