Much of the footage concentrates on "Black Friday," May 13, when student-provoked city police turned fire hoses on the unruly, song-chanting crowd, dragged and pushed demonstrators down the steps of city hall, arrested 68 students (mostly from the University of California, some from Stanford University, San Francisco State and the University of San Francisco) on charges of inciting a riot and resisting arrest. The House Committee subpoenaed film of the incidents from two San Francisco TV stations, turned it over to a Washington movie...

When the Nazis invaded Norway in 1940, Brandt put on a Norwegian uniform-at the insistence of friends who were trying to keep him from being grabbed by the Gestapo and shot. He returned to Germany in 1945 as a Norwegian correspondent, with Norwegian citizenship...
...wounded in their hospital beds. Later he announced his findings: none of the rioters had been armed: many had been shot in the back. Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's Afrikaner government decided that Bishop Reeves was a threat to South Africa's security. Warned of his impending arrest. the bishop fled to England, started work on a book: Shooting at Sharpeville: The Agony of South Africa. Then Bishop Reeves returned to Johannesburg-but not for long. Forty-two hours after he landed, the bishop was handed a deportation order, and escorted aboard a plane headed for London...
