1971

Decades before the emergence of WikiLeaks and the NSA controversy, a significant event unfolded in Media, Pennsylvania. In 1971, a group of eight activists meticulously planned and executed a daring break-in at the local FBI offices. Their goal was to obtain and disclose stolen documents, shedding light on the unlawful surveillance of everyday citizens during a time marked by anti-war protests. This gripping tale of a heist features the culprits stepping forward for the first time, sharing their experiences and prompting a discussion on the implications of security leaks in modern activism.
