Columbia Revolt

The film was made that year by a collective of independent filmmakers called Newsreel and mostly shot by Melvin Margolis.

[1] It features a number of off-camera interviews with unnamed students who were involved in the takeover of university buildings.

According to Roz Payne, a member of the Newsreel collective who worked on the film: The students had taken over 5 buildings.

Melvin had a World War II cast iron steel Bell and Howell camera that could take the shock of breaking plate glass windows.

[2]The film is sympathetic to the students and is shot in a Cinéma vérité style.
