"EXPLOSIVE! A GRIPPING DOCUMENTARY THAT BRILLIANTLY RECONSTRUCT THE ENTIRE FREAK EVENT" - Entertainment Weekly

The award-winning and internationally acclaimed film, "Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst" is a gripping, unparalleled account of the most sensational kidnapping in American history. In 1974, college student Patty Hearst (the granddaughter of publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst) was bodly snatched from her apartment by a flamboyant terrorist group.

Determined to foment a violent political uprising among America's working class, the terrorists extorted the Hearst family into donating millions in food to the poor, but events soon took a scandalously strange turn. Two months after her kidnapping, as the media camped out in swarms on the Hearst lawn, Patty shocked the nation by changing her name to Tania, and then with assault rifle in hand joined her captors in robbing a bank.

Utilizing rare archive footage, audio recordings, and exclusive interviews with former terrorist group members (Symbionese Liberation Army), renowned director Robert Stone presents an eye-opening chronicle of this bizarre affair, which marked America's first direct encounter with modern media-driven political terrorism.
