The Barbican on the South Bank, London gets into the 1968 swing with a special season of films.
I have to say that the Weatherman item they are showing (The Weather Underground (15)) is one of the best political documentaries I have ever seen.
Featured are:

The Angry Brigade + The Youth Uprising ( 15*) - Followed by panel discussion
20:45 / Early documentaries on riots and urban guerilla
6 May 08 / 20:45 / Cinema 2

Pound + Fritz the Cat (18)
19.00 / Reigning Cats and Dogs - essential cult viewing in this one-off double bill.
