FREE ANGELA AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS

"A fascinating slice out of a turbulent time in American history." – Indiewire

This gripping feature documentary chronicles how Angela Davis, a young UCLA philosophy lecturer, became one of the world's legendary black radical activists. Pivoting around Davis' involvement in an infamous courthouse hostage case, director Shola Lynch combines extensive archival footage, period recreation and rare present-day access to Davis herself to produce a gripping and epic telling of the story.

Part crime thriller, part courtroom drama, Free Angela and All Political Prisoners captures the revolutionary spirit of the times, aided by a funky 70s soundtrack.

"A loving, generous, yet critically astute view of a black woman political icon, whose story has often received short-shrift in comparison to some of her male comrades." – Huffington Post
