Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references a 1968 student manifesto comparing military oppression to forcing someone to eat strawberries. The film was controversial for being 'too commercial' about radical politics.
Director Stuart Hagmann was a TV veteran who'd never handled a feature; the raw energy came from inexperience and shooting during actual campus unrest. Some extras were real protesters.
