Inside the Free Speech Movement is a four-part documentary, directed by
Linda Rosen and edited by Jai Jai Noire, Tonya Staros, and Melanie
Mentzel, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the movement. The FSM was
the first student demonstration to use civil disobedience techniques to
defend freedom of speech. This newly edited video, based on oral history
interviews done for the 50th anniversary, is augmented with historic
photographs and original sound recordings. We are indebted to the Free
Speech Movement Archives and to the photographers and reporters who
captured the times. Defending constitutional rights against efforts to
repress them is uncannily prescient today. Watch and learn how they did
it. Featuring: Bettina Aptheker, David Lance Goines, Patti Iiyama, Anita
Medal, Kathleen Piper, Jack Radey, Seth Rosenfeld, Peter Dale Scott,
Leon Wofsy, and many others.
This event will be the premier showing of Inside the Free Speech
Movement, Part One: Precursors to the Free Speech Movement, Free Speech
Zone, Administrative Crackdown, United Front, Police Car Scene, March on
the Regents’ Meeting, Sit-In and Arrests, The Strike, The Arraignment

Linda Rosen and Bettina Aptheker will be present to introduce and
comment on the 50-minute Part One video and take questions. Parts One
and Two will be posted on the Berkeley Historical Society YouTube
channel the next day. Parts Three and Four will debut in October.
