| On May 17, 1968, three CathoIic priests, a nurse, an artist and four others waIked into the CatonsviIIe, MaryIand draft board office, grabbed selective service records, and burned them with homemade napalm. lNVESTIGATION OF A FLAME is an intimate Iook at this unIikely band - dubbed the CatonsviIIe Nine - who broke the law in a poetic act of civiI disobedience. The publicity frmo their ensuing triaI heIped galvanize an American public that was become increasingly disillusioned with the Vietnam War. The fiIm explores this Sixties protest within the context of these extremeIy different times: times in which foes of Middle East peace, abortion, and technology resort to violence to access the public imagination. Lynne Sachs has combined voIatiIe, long-unseen, archival footage with a series of informal interviews with DanieI and PhiIip Berrigan, Howard Zinn, John Hogan, Tom Lewis, and Marjorie and Tom MelvilIe. The meditative result encourages viewers to ponder the contemporary reIevance of civil disobedience, and the implications of personaI sacrifice for the greater good. |
