In Chapter 5, Stanley Corkin employs three films as tools to explore and showcase the dynamics between the built environment, the politics of culture and radical student movements of the time in New York. Webber highlights the vigorous and subversive character of students' demonstrations of the time, supported by the films that indicate radical trajectories and methods of resistance.
