Citazioni
Bobby Lee: A non-capitalistic state, that's what we're talkin' about. We're talkin' about Revolution. People get hung up about Panthers are self-defense. You know, that's half-war. We're talkin' about war. Guerrilla war. Urban guerrilla war.

What a wonderful world it could be

The summary for this film suggests that this a Black Panthers (read: social justice) doc, a lazy hubristic take that contextualizes the film immediately from a racial perspective.

American Revolution 2 is about the fallout of 1960s idealism meeting its first clash with the wave of indifferent capitalism that would change how neighborhoods were managed by the city, regardless of race. It's about the working class of Chicago briefly uniting and transparently discussing the urban dynamics of poverty, property, housing, and crime-primarily the police's colorblind violent harassment.

Ultimately it's a snapshot of 60s idealism coming to a halt through the lens of racially diverse working class narrators who don't find a solution but do imagine-together-what a better Chicago(US) might look like.
