Off the Record

Alternative coverage of the Democratic National Convention in 1996. Check out who is "Not on the Guest List" - a group of activists tired of retrenchment and cutbacks... See confrontations with Chicago's finest, a Leonard Peltier demo and abortion clinic battles. Reporter who does not have "official press pass" is arrested on camera. Carl Davidson and Safayi Bukari speak about the attempt to repress dissent. Great clip of Dick Gregory speaking of the need to "mess with the money". Rev. Al Sharpton leads march with cries to "Cash the check."
