Zayd Dohrn werd ondergronds geboren; zijn ouders waren radicalen en bandieten van de tegencultuur, op de vlucht voor de FBI. Nu neemt Zayd ons mee terug naar de jaren zeventig, toen zijn ouders en hun jonge vrienden van de Weather Underground Organization de oorlog verklaarden aan de Amerikaanse regering. Ze vochten met de oproerpolitie in de straten van Chicago, bombardeerden het Pentagon en het Amerikaanse Capitool, bevrijdden kameraden uit de gevangenis en werkten samen met zwarte militante groepen om banken te beroven, racisme te bestrijden – en te helpen een revolutie op te bouwen.

Zayd Dohrn was born underground – his parents were radicals and counter-culture outlaws, on the run from the FBI. Now Zayd takes us back to the 1970s, when his parents and their young friends in the Weather Underground Organization declared war on the United States government. They brawled with riot cops on the streets of Chicago, bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, broke comrades out of prison, and teamed up with Black militant groups to rob banks, fight racism – and help build a revolution.
