----------------------------------------
We're checking out Alan Rudolph's first and only documentary feature, following the Los Angeles stop of the Timothy Leary // G. Gordon Liddy debate tour. We get into the current state of the world, where we're at now, before we jump into the deep end on the FBI, CIA, Nixon, MKultra, watergate, Iran Contra, counterculture movements, and all of that jazz. Plus we learn that Gordon Liddy was one crazy ass white boy.

You can watch Return Engagement right here!
