Title Information

Punishment Park
1970: the Vietnam War is getting more and more unpopular amongst the youth. The protest against it is so widespread that Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the Internal Security Act - this controversial law allows the President to bypass the Congress and detain without bail or proof of guilt anyone felt to be a threat to Internal Security. The Police have started rounding up anyone who can fit the bill - pacifists, human-rights activists, black power supporters, hippies - and bring them to the Bear Mountain National Punishment Park where a make-shift "popular" tribunal awaits them. The sentence being given out is invariably the same - a long time in prison or play Punishment Park. Punishment Park consists of running 52 miles through the desert to the American Flag in less than 72 hours. No food or water is provided and security forces start chasing you two hours after your departure. Still when you're offered the choice between that and jail, only a fool wouldn't give it a try...
