It is a documentary about Symbionese Liberation Army, the short-lived radical political group that caused a media frenzy in the early '70s. Dedicated to the rights of black prisoners and the working class, the SLA set forth in 1973 to incite the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, brilliantly manipulating the mass media to advance their message.

In 1974, SLA kidnapped a teenage newspaper heiress and Berkeley undergrad Patty Hearst from her apartment. The group demanded that her father, William Randolph Hearst, give millions of dollars to the poor. Later, Patty Hearst joined the group and transformed into "Tania".

Filmmaker Robert Stone incorporates archival footage, news clips, and contemporary interviews with SLA founder Russ Little and member Mike Bortin. He conjures a certain nostalgia for the polemical extremities of the not-so-distant past.

这是一部关于短命的激进政治组织共生解放军的纪录片，他们曾在1970年代早期引发媒体狂潮。SLA是为了黑人囚犯和劳动阶级谋利益的，他们自1973年起提出暴力推翻美国政府的号召，并且出色地利用大众传媒宣传他们的思想。

1974年SLA在公寓里绑架了身为报业继承人和伯克利研究生的少女Patty Hearst。这个组织要求她的父亲William Randolph Hearst分发百万美元给穷人。后来，Patty Hearst也加入了组织，并且改名为“Tania”。

导演Robert Stone把档案影像、新闻片断和对SLA创始人Russ Little以及成员Mike Bortin的最新访谈合成为电影。在对这些有争议的极端行为的回顾中他对不太远的过去流露出些许怀念之情。
