Free Angela and All Political Prisoners
CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 7.1
The story of how, in 1970, the social activism of young UCLA philosophy professor Angela Davis led her to become involved in a failed kidnapping attempt that ended in a shootout, four deaths, and her name on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
My takeA powerful documentary that traces Angela Davis's journey from academic prominence to political prisoner, exploring her fight for justice and the broader movement for the liberation of all political prisoners. Arlo would appreciate the raw conviction and historical weight—it's a film for those seeking to understand resistance and the human cost of dissent.
