Operation Abolition (1962)
About it
13 November 2005 - 6 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
According to the book "Years of Hope, Days of Rage", Operation Abolition was made after demonstrators against HUAC were not allowed into hearings in San Francisco. They sang "We Shall Not Be Moved" and the police attacked them with hoses, clubbed them, and beat them, trying to force them out. HUAC then made this film to make it appear as though it had been victimized, calling the disruptors "well-trained communist agents" trying to discredit the committee. There was, however, really no way to spin this one and it became a kind of a joke for campus activists in the sixties. They made their own film, Operation Correction.
