SUMMARY:William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe
DESCRIPTION:
William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe (2009)
\n
\n
Produced and directed by Emily
and Sarah Kunstler, the daughters of William
Kunstler. The NY Times described him as "the
most hated and most loved lawyer in America."
The sisters were awarded the L'Oreal Women
of Worth Vision Award at the 2009 Sundance
Film Festival and just recently won the Special
Jury Prize for Best New Filmmakers at the
Traverse City Film Festival.
\n
\n
This movie explores the life of their father,
the late radical civil rights lawyer. In the
1960s and 70s, Kunstler fought for civil rights
with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented
the famed "Chicago 8" activists who protested
the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over
Attica prison, or when the American Indian
Movement stood up to the federal government
at Wounded Knee, they asked Kunstler to be their
lawyer.
\n
\n
Assistant Professor
of Law Catherine Grosso of the MSU College
of Law will introduce the film and lead a discussion
afterward.
