CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 7.1

This documentary follows a young philosophy professor whose social activism draws her into a failed kidnapping attempt in 1970. After a shootout leaves four people dead, she becomes one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted.

My take

You may like this documentary if you’re interested in political activism and the history surrounding a high-profile case; not for you if you prefer lighter subject matter or fictional stories.
