Their catchphrase was “Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people,” and they called themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army. Thirty years ago, in the midst of a bloody war in Vietnam and nationwide campus protests, news media and government forces lavished frenzied attention upon this handful of mainly middle-class terrorists, most notorious for kidnapping heiress Patricia Hearst in Berkeley. With the juxtaposition of contemporary interviews, archival news footage, period television and film, filmmaker Robert Stone reflects on and brings us into the mood of the early 1970s. We meet SLA founder Russ Little alongside clips from his childhood television diet of Robin Hood and Zorro-heroic fighters against oppression. We watch bombs drop on Vietnam as Mike Bortin, who joined the SLA much later, explains his desperation and loss of hope. “We (the United States) were being Hitler. And you saw it (on TV) every night.” Neverland chronicles SLA actions and declarations, the endless media rehash of the number one story, and the government responses. Much of the archival footage has not been seen since it was originally aired. In the midst of new war and anti-terror campaigns, Neverland illustrates how not to change the world.
