Medium Cool.

The film is constantly juggling documentary footage with feature film image. Director Wexler uses footage from military training camps in Illinois for military troops preparing for planned demonstrations by students and anti-war activists during the Democratic National Convention later that summer. The film climaxes with a scene in which Eileen is walking through rioting crowds, based on footage of students in Chicago demonstrating during the convention in the summer of 1968.
