Coming from a conservative Christian background, I don't think I ever equated the idea of Catholics or Liberals with extremism.
The group at the heart of this film was just that: Liberal Catholic Extremists. Some saw them as heroes and maybe some still do. I disagree. In spite of that however, the real shocker of this film wasn't anything done by them. The incident which is central to this film was just one of many that took place around the country. But what happened in Camden was a turning point.
With all the questions swirling around the Bush administration (was there really plausible justification to go to war with Iraq?); we have to ask just how far are government officials willing to go to get what they want? This particular slice of history, The Camden 28 still resonates today.
