Hello Sarah,
Wasn't there a group of citizen video journalists called "The
Videofreex" active
in the area, and directly covering issues such as this, 1969–71?
They have a remarkable set of tapes.
Their archive recovery was the subject of a documentary film in 2015.
Maybe start here?

With best wishes,
