Underground: The Life of a Political Fugitive
Date: 4/28/1973Call Number: KP 007Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Nick EglesonProgram: WBAICollection: Anti-War
This is a story about “Tom”, who in 1969 burned the 1A draft records of 34 boards in Chicago, and how he lived on the run for the years following. The story is told through interviews with Tom, his family and various voices from his small-town Minnesota upbringing.
Tom’s soft underground experience is very different from the experience of serious clandestine political groups of the time, but nonetheless informative. For example, Tom enjoyed freedom of white privilege, i.e. carrying no ID and hitchhiking in cars with busted headlights and carrying dope.
