Synopsis: 1970. The United States Of America. A war is waging thousands of miles away. Protests are ending in violent street-battles. Bob Dylan is telling us that the answer is "Blowing in the wind" and the president is saying: "Hearts and minds." But what about the people who saw their country as something different, as a "Monster" that was spreading it's grotesque Imperialism world-wide. These people were the real "Seventies Radicals" and in their wake is not a trail of joint-butts but a wake destruction, shrapnel, bodies and hard-drugs. When Do We Start Fighting? follows the path of two Radical collectives in the aftermath of a major street-battle that forced them "Underground." As they desperately fight to keep the movement together and implement their plan to "Bring the war home" relationships collapse in on themselves, violence turns on violence, turns to self destruction and betrayal makes it's way into their ranks. With no way out and with nothing to lose, their revolution turns from intensely political... To deeply personal. | ||||
