Abstract
Shot by filmmaker Jeff Kreines on Veterans Day in 1970 when he was only 16 years old, the film showed at the Ann Arbor Film Festival and was selected as a “Young Chicago Filmmakers Festival” award-winner. Kreines left high school not long after he completed RATAMATA to focus on making films full-time. RATAMATA is a portrait of the diverse opinions of Chicagoans (ranging from high school students to habitual mayoral candidate Lars Daly) as they reflect on the general state of affairs in America, the war in Vietnam, social and racial conflict, freedom and personal liberty, happiness, and social justice.
