1971 plot

"The year a few ordinary citizens took on the FBI."

March 8, 1971: Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier meet in the boxing ring and all of America is in front of the TV. That same night, a group of anti-war activists from Philadelphia under the name The Citizen's Commission to Investigate the FBI break into a small FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania. They take all the documents with them. Shortly thereafter, copies containing sensitive information about the FBI's illegal surveillance practices end up in the editorial offices of national media. A scandal is born. The media case sparked the Senate's first major investigation into intelligence operations and dealt a blow to authoritarian FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. The burglars were never caught. Now they are breaking their anonymity.
