From Protest To Resistance (dir. Saul Landau)


Listen Later

Documentarian Saul Landau died in 2013, but a youtube channel of his documentaries (incomplete) is maintained on youtube by his son, Greg Landau. Landau was astonishingly well traveled and has films and a rich history connected across the world with so many that are similarly no longer with us.

Per the video description:

A documentary film from 1968 produced by the KQED Film Unit, which in the words of narrator Richard O. Moore: "Is about three veterans of Mississippi [of the Civil Rights movement] who have become peace spokesman for the new opposition activist. It traces their thought and action over the past year, as they see themselves moving from demonstration to political organizing." Features interviews, speeches and political reflections from Mario Savio ("for the new radical politics"), Stokely Carmichael ("speaks for Black Power") and David Harris ("for the non-violent draft resistance"). At one point, Savio expresses his opinion that: "Protest doesn't work and it's something which is very clear now." All three men are wrestling with how to change the direction of U.S. domestic and foreign policy and are united in their opposition to the Vietnam War. Includes scenes of mass demonstrations, arrests and also interviews and speeches by: President Lyndon Johnson; Julian Bond (25:11); Robert Vaughn (25:24); Suzanne Goldberg (Savio's first wife); William Appleman Williams; Herbert Marcuse and Bobby Seale. This film was directed by Moore, Saul Landau and Irving Saraf, with additional photography by Philip Greene. This is indicated by subtitles. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.

Some of the audio was cleaned up, enhanced. This is From Protest to Resistance, released in 1968. As always, this feed is maintained in part by Ian Anderson at @starsalwayslost - feel free to contact with questions, requests, concerns etc.
