This film does not promote violence, I saw it when Channel 4 screened it
(!) and it's very good, essential viewing, it's been screened by
Indymedia collectives, eg:

- The Weather Underground: Film screening in Cambridge
  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/08/295844.html

It's in Scotland's video library:

Some background info in this MP3 linked to from SD IMC:

    Interview with Bill Siegel, co-director and co-producer of The
    Weather Underground, the Oscar-nominated 2002 feature-length
    documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement
    as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that
    drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed
    them on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list.
