Trailer: "GUERRILLA- The Taking of Patty Hearst"



Death to the Fascist Insect that Preys on the Life of the People

Patty Hearst is the granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst,

in 1974 following her kidnapping by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), Patty Hearst then joined her captors in furthering their cause.

When the attempt to swap Patty Hearst for jailed SLA members failed, the SLA demanded that the captive's family distribute $70 worth of food to every needy Californian—an operation that would cost an estimated $400 million.

In response, Patty Hearst's father arranged the immediate donation of $6 million worth of food to the poor of the Bay Area.

After the distribution of food, the SLA refused to release Patty Hearst because they deemed the food to have been of poor quality. (In a subsequent tape recording released to the press, Patty Hearst commented that her father could have done better.)

On April 15, 1974, she was photographed wielding an assault rifle while robbing the Sunset District branch of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco.

Later communications from her were issued under the her new name Tania. A warrant was issued for her arrest and in September 1975, she was arrested in a San Francisco apartment with other SLA members.

THE ANGRY BRIGADE



THE ANGRY BRIGADE

During one of the longest political trials of English history thousands of badges were sold saying "I'm in the Angry Brigade".

ANGRY BRIGADE COMMUNIQUES
"We attack property not people."

"Sit in the drugstore, look distant, empty, bored, drinking some tasteless
coffee? or perhaps BLOW IT UP OR BURN IT DOWN." (Communique 8)

during the early 1970s the Angry Brigade launched a string of bombing attacks against the heart of the British Establishment. No one was killed.

In the series of 25 bombings attributed to them no one was killed (one person was slightly injured), but they were a serious embarrassment to Edward Heath's government. For a brief period between August 1970 and August 1971, the authorities were unable to stop a group of left-wing adventurers bombing the homes of Tory politicians, as well as government and corporate offices.

"I'm not ashamed of anything I have done." says Hilary Creek
