Complaints from neighbours about MOVE’s lifestyle lead to
increasingly violent clashes with police. One confrontation turns
deadly, and by 1978, relations between MOVE and city authorities
have reached a crisis point. The MOVE home in residential
Powelton Village becomes the scene of a two-months-long
starvation blockade, and the site of a stand-off with police that
will end in blood, gunfire, and the arrest of nine members of
MOVE, collectively charged with murder for the death of an
officer.
