One World Berlin Human Film Festival 2014
Opening Film
1971
USA 2014
Dir: Johanna Hamilton
GERMAN PREMIERE, DIRECTOR ATTENDING
Johanna Hamilton's documentary 1971 recounts the story of anti-Vietnam
War activists who uncovered and leaked the FBI's widespread - and
unconstitutional - surveillance programs by stealing files from the FBI
office in Media, Pennsylvania. COINTELPRO, the FBI's acronym for these
measures, targeted the Black Panthers, anti war protestors and other
groups and individuals who ran afoul of the conservative U.S. government.
Concerned citizens fought back, by stealing all the files from the
Media, Pennsylvania local FBI office and making them available to the
press. The Media break-in was a game changer, paving the way for
Watergate, Wikileaks and Edward Snowden.
The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Johanna
Hamilton, Ann Wertheimer (Chair American Voices Abroad Berlin), Wolfgang
Kaleck (European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, Edward
Snowden's German attorney) and Annie Machon (author, intelligence agency
expert). Moderator: Nadja Vancauwenberghe, editor-in-chief Exberliner
