Based on an interview with Laura Whitehorn who describes becoming a revolutionary and her identity as a lesbian and anti-imperialist. She was heavily influenced by the Black and women’s movements, the Vietnam war, and US policies in El Salvador, Lebanon and Grenada. “If you don’t do something against policies which counter human rights, you become an accomplice.” She was part of a group that attacked military and government targets. Laura was arrested in May 1985 in Baltimore. On August 6, 1999, after serving 14 years of her 26 year sentence, she was released from the Federal prison. Laura Whitehorn still thinks that militant struggle is a legitimate response to the violence of the US.
