The extraordinary tale of the kidnap of teenage newspaper heiress, Patty Hearst, by the notorious terrorist group, the Symbionese Liberation Army in the 1970's.

We follow the media frenzy which erupted when Patty transformed into “Tania” and joined the ranks of the SLA herself.

Distinguished filmmaker Robert Stone went underground for four years to make the film, which delivers remarkable archival footage of the SLA ‘s two year crime spree.
