An important collective of political filmmakers.  The group became Third World Newsreel.

Regarding MOVE:
A 1978, portapak shot, B&W video entitled  The August 8, 1978 Confrontation is raw and quite powerful.
The piece captures the essences of that time, that situation, & those political tensions with the very particular qualities of image and moment that street portapak video could produce.
You can see much of it on Utube.  The folks at MOVE will sell you a copy for a modest cost.
