People's Bicentennial Celebration - Part 1
For the 7,000 people who gathered in Delores Park here last Sunday, July, 1976, was certainly not a day to "honor" America's Bicentennial. Instead, the day marked the beginning of a new unity among the victims of Americanism, and those who joined the July 4th Coalition's memorable march and rally celebrated the coming together of this broad, multiethnic movement, while commemorating those whose sacrifice and struggle lay the foundation for the future victories.

Incident at Oglala Clips
Documentary directed by Michael Apted on Native American activist Leonard Peltier. Following 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, and amid tensions between US government and Lakota Sioux, two FBI agents and one Native American killed by gunfire on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. Peltier was later arrested and imprisoned, although there was little direct evidence, and others charged earlier were found not guilty on the basis of legitimate self-defense. Narrated by Robert Redford (also the executive producer), the film revisits the scene of the shooting and assembles archival footage and interviews to show how Peltier was never granted a fair trial, while painting a larger portrait of social injustice in view of the contemporary living conditions of Native Americans.
