Recording in the newly introduced medium of consumer video, the Freex covered Black Panther Fred Hampton, anti-Vietnam clashes on the DC streets, Yippee Abbie Hoffman (pictured) inciting a Yale University crowd, wild early experimental performances, and the downtown NYC art scene.
With a core of 10 productive videomakers, their work presaged reality TV, Michael Moore, YouTube, and Democracy Now! This program presents a selection from their 2000 videotapes, now in the Videofreex Archive at VDB.org, that chronicle an exciting era, capturing it with an immediacy that brings its relevance to life.
