One World Berlin Human Film Festival 2014

Opening Film

1971
USA 2014
Dir: Johanna Hamilton

GERMAN PREMIERE, DIRECTOR ATTENDING

Johanna Hamilton's documentary 1971 recounts the story of anti-Vietnam 
War activists who uncovered and leaked the FBI's widespread - and 
unconstitutional - surveillance programs by stealing files from the FBI 
office in Media, Pennsylvania. COINTELPRO, the FBI's acronym for these 
measures, targeted the Black Panthers, anti war protestors and other 
groups and individuals who ran afoul of the conservative U.S. government.
Concerned citizens fought back, by stealing all the files from the 
Media, Pennsylvania local FBI office and making them available to the 
press. The Media break-in was a game changer, paving the way for 
Watergate, Wikileaks and Edward Snowden.

The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Johanna 
Hamilton, Ann Wertheimer (Chair American Voices Abroad Berlin), Wolfgang 
Kaleck (European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, Edward 
Snowden's German attorney) and Annie Machon (author, intelligence agency 
expert). Moderator: Nadja Vancauwenberghe, editor-in-chief Exberliner
