Films

Green's feature-length documentary film "The Weather Underground" focused on the group of young radicals of the same name, who during the late 1960s and '70s attempted to violently overthrow the United States government. The film premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for a 2003 Academy Award for Documentary Feature category. [ [http://www.newsroom.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/display.cgi?id=985 "Film-maker Sam Green to Screen, Discuss "The Weather Underground" at UCR"] , University of California, Riverside, Office of Strategic Communications, January 25, 2005, accessed June 8, 2007.] The award winning film interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the story of the Weather Underground. "The New York Times" film critic Elvis Mitchell called the documentary a "terrifically smart and solid piece of film-making." ["A Trip Back to the Contradictions of the Stormy 60's" by Elvis Mitchell, "The New York Times", June 4, 2003.]

"The Rainbow Man/John 3:16" focuses on the life of Rollen Stewart, who became famous during the 1970s by appearing at thousands of televised sporting events wearing a rainbow-colored wig. The film premiered at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, where Trevor Groth said "More than an exploration one life, "The Rainbow Man" is a parable about alienation, the media, and the meaninglessness that often defines American life."

Green's other documentaries include "lot 63, grave c" (about Meredith Hunter); "N-Judah 5:30"; and "Pie Fight ’69".
