In "Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst,'' filmmaker Robert Stone has assembled archival footage that re-creates the timeline of crimes of the Symbionese Liberation Army, as well as the political energy of the early 1970s which instigated extraordinary two-year crime spree.

Being one of the most sensational and bizarre crime stories, the SLA set forth in 1973 to overthrow of the U.S. government, brilliantly manipulating the mass media to advance their message.

Hearst, heiress to one of America's great media empires, was kidnapped by the relatively unknown group the Symbionese Liberation Army, and transformed into a domestic terrorist-goddess.

Reminding me of last year's Oscar-nominated documentary "The Weather Underground,'' this film captures more of the political ferment and delivers amazing archival footage using the media to combine a romantic "Bonnie and Clyde" & political terrorism scenario.
