Mandatory viewing if you wan’t an education on Ayers and the weather underground.
I didn't say it was. That's why, at the end, I asked if you meant the movie. In any case, I can't imagine that the film doesn't portray them as sympathetic figures, at least on some level.
"The Weather Underground is a 2002 documentary film based on the rise and fall of the American radical organization The Weathermen. The group's goal was to 'bring the (Vietnam) War home' through acts of domestic terrorism. The film, directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel, was nominated for an Academy Award in 2004."

Yet another documentary ('Underground')...
"Underground is a 1976 documentary film about the Weathermen, the militant faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) who fought to overthrow the U.S. government during the 1960s and 1970s."

Finally, from the believe-it-or-not file...
The Weathermen (hip hop group)
"The Weathermen, is a New York City based, underground hip-hop supergroup consisting of Aesop Rock, Tame One, Cage Kennylz, Yak Ballz, El-P, and Breeze Brewin. The group took its name from the revolutionary organization Weatherman, and sometimes refers to itself as the "New Left". Former members include Jakki da Mottamouth, Copywrite, Vast Aire and the late Camu Tao.
They released a mixtape in 2003 titled The Conspiracy, on Eastern Conference Records.[1] They plan to release their first full length record on Definitive Jux in 2008.
Originally formed by Cage, the group consisted of nine members from the Eastern Conference and Definitive Jux labels. By 2006, Jakki da Mottamouth, Copywrite, and Vast Aire had left and were replaced by Aesop Rock. They then became associated with Cardboard City."

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. In the meantime, I'll see if I can find the link for the PBS documentary. That is, unless someone can beat me to it. :)
