Free Angela and All Political Prisoners

In 1970, a politically motivated hostage situation in a Northern California courtroom ended in bloodshed. The purchaser of the firearms used─activist professor Angela Davis─became the subject of a two-month FBI manhunt, and the defendant in a polarizing prosecution for conspiracy. Archival footage, dramatic re-creations, and perspectives from players in her capture and trial─including, for the first time, Davis herself─bring a turbulent period to vivid life. 102 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, Spanish.
