Rebels of Oakland: The A's, The Raiders, The '70s
- Documentary
"As soon as you hear the title to this new one, you know exactly what it's about and why it's likely to be good, especially if you were a sports fan growing up in the 1970s. Even to good boys all the way across the country in New Hampshire, the authority-flouting baseball A's and football Raiders were magical. Not only did they win championships, they did it amid clubhouse brawls, feuds with an owner and a general embrace of the 1960s aesthetic. Filmmakers Rick Bernstein and Ross Greenburg tell the stories of these turbulent, talented teams and show how they perfectly fit their city. Oakland was blue collar and home to hardcore hard-core 1960s rebellion, exemplified by the Black Panthers. Oakland, especially, was not San Francisco, the effete, world-class city across the bay."
Rebels of Oakland: The A's, The Raiders, The '70s is a documentary that chronicles two of sports' most iconic and rebellious teams during their championship runs in the 1970s. Through the lens of the Oakland Athletics and Oakland Raiders, the film explores how these authority-defying squads embodied the city's blue-collar, countercultural spirit and won it all despite constant turmoil. Directed by Rick Bernstein and Ross Greenburg, it's essential viewing for anyone who remembers when Oakland was a sports powerhouse.
