Operation Abolition was widely screened (one source put the total viewership at 8 million) and helped put Berkeley and its activist culture on the map, eventually becoming a cult movie. Scenes include footage of Harry Bridges, Archie Brown, Douglas Wachter, William Mandell, University of California, Berkeley students and excepts from the Daily Californian. A film using the same footage, but a different narration called Operation Correction was made by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California to counter Operation Abolition. 541 0 PFA 1616-01-10493.
