Freak Power: The Ballot or the Bomb (R)

synopsis

During an era when the police and FBI were hunting down activists and jailing or assassinating them, Hunter's campaign puts him in the crosshairs of J. Edgar Hoover and the forces that are under the thumb of Nixon. Soon there are death threats, bombings, an agent provocateur and Aspen becomes an ideological battleground for what "The American Dream" really means and how powerful interests often coalesce to undermine democracy.
