A few frames are marred by dust, fiber, and other artifacts, but the grit merely adds to the experience.The DVD re-release also includes the film’s original press kit and an interview with Peter Watkins. Both features provide the film with helpful political context. Watkins identifies the infamous 1968 Democratic Convention demonstrations in Chicago...
