Three Black Panthers and the Last Slave Plantation
Date: 1/1/2006Call Number: V 230Format: DVDProducers: Angola ThreeCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
The gripping story of three men, Herman Wallace, Albert Woodfox, and Robert King Wilkerson, former members of the Black Panther Party, known collectively as the Angola 3. We explore their extraordinary struggles for dignity, justice, and human rights while incarcerated in Angola Prison in Louisiana, one of the "most brutal and racist prisons in the United States". The Angola 3 were "politicized" through contact with members of the Black Panther Party while inside prison, and in 1971 formed one of the only recognized prison Panther chapters. Under conditions of segregation, racism, and repression, they organized other prisoners to build a movement for their rights; an astonishing feat given Angola Prison's history of repression. The focus of 3 Black Panthers and the L. S. P. is on the hidden facts and cover-ups that have surrounded and clouded their cases since the 1970s. In addition, the movie explores the political climate of the 1960s and 70s that produced "political" prisoners in America, situating the Angola 3 within the political unrest of the Civil Rights and 'Black Power' movements that emerged within prison walls in America. Award winning journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal narrates from Pennsylvania's death row, taking the viewer through the history of Angola Prison as it was transformed from a Civil War era slave plantation to a hard labor prison. This feature length movie includes interview with Bo Brown, Fred Hampton Jr., David Hilliard, Yuri Kochiyama, Rod Coronado, Althea Francois, Noelle Hanrahan, Billy X Jennings, Kiilu Nyasha, Geronimo Pratt, Luis Talamantez, Gail Shaw and many others.
