ALL MOVIES SPOILED

In this film block, Jeremy and Brian band together like The Lone Gunmen to explore a mix of (mostly) documentary films that are eerily similar to the events of the present, such as the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the sitting democratic president deciding late in the game, not to seek reelection, a horrifying war on the other side of the globe, funded and fueled by the US, that was impetuous for a lot of protest, an RFK running for president until a crazed kid took a shot at his right ear. Such a different time. It’s hard to imagine anything like that happening today.
