- On May 17, 1968, three Catholic priests, a nurse, an artist and four others walked into a Catonsville, Maryland draft board office, grabbed hundreds of selective service records and burned them with homemade napalm. Their poetic act of civil disobedience helped galvanize an increasingly disillusioned American public against the Vietnam War. Investigation of a Flame is an intimate look at this Sixties protest within our current times, when foes of Middle East peace, abortion, and technology resort to violence to access the public imagination. Lynne Sachs combines volatile, long-unseen, archival footage with interviews with Daniel and Philip Berrigan and other members of the Catonsville Nine, encouraging viewers to ponder the relevance of civil disobedience and the implications of personal sacrifice today.
- In 1960, Pentti Linkola published the anti-war book 'Isänmaan ja eisensen puola', celebrating pacifism and non-violence. However, the optimism and enthusiasm of the then 28-year-old environmentalist were severely tested over the next ten years until it finally succumbed. Linkola, considering ecological, political, and social injustice in the world, radically re-evaluated his positions. He lost faith in people, and today he views the peace movement as a naivety that humanity should inevitably abandon. Living outside of civilization for decades, he sharply criticizes Earth's overpopulation, capitalism, and the consumerist way of life. Linkola advocates for the abolition of industrialization, a significant reduction in the world population, and a return to nature. This documentary delves into the life of Linkola, Finland's most famous thinker, despite many controversial statements.
