Lee Lew Lee, producer/director & Kristin Bell & Nico Panigutti, co-producers
Opening with a montage of four hundred years of race injustice in America, this powerful documentary provides the historical context for the establishment of the 60's civil rights movement. Rare clips of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and other activists transport one back to those tumultuous times. Organized by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton, the Black Panther Party embodied every major element of the civil rights movement which preceded it and inspired the black, brown, yellow, Native American and women's power movements which followed

The party struck fear in the hearts of the "establishment" which viewed it as a terrorist group. Interviews with former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, CIA officer Philip Agee, and FBI agents Wes Swearingen and Bill Turner shockingly detail a "secret domestic war" of assassination, imprisonment and torture as the weapons of repression. Yet, the documentary is not a paean to the Panthers, for while it praises their early courage and moral idealism. it exposes their collapse due to megalomania, corruption, drugs, and narcissism

Broadcast in 19 countries abroad and winner of 9 awards, the film is an important look at the turmoils of the 60's and its leading players.

These guys are all collectivists, that guy says so himself, 'there are no individuals, there are only collectives." Their 'revolution' was basically Marxist in nature & not Libertarian for American individual rights to the hilt. They should have just moved their asses over to Cuba where they already had a Communist government. Apparently, these guys had no idea that Western Elite Jewish bankers funded Communism also in addition to hi-jacking the U.S. into mixed economy vulture Capitalism.

No offense, but the level of comments is well below the quality and subject matter of the documentary. I know there are people who are critical thinkers screening this material. You need to contribute and elevate the discourse. This is a well done and thought provoking presentation. Even people who would consider themselves conservative cannot be so intellectually club footed as to not see the injustices that spawned the BPP, the unjust nature of COINTELPRO, and the legitimacy of the BPP.

[denalaurens]

@getyoasshome You cite that line about parties changing up like a robot repeating what it was programmed to repeat. Democrats have you idiots lapping up everything they throw at you. You don't get to change your history just because it was bad. FDR was a liberal socialist. Rush doesn't run the party, you moron. He says what normal people already know. You lib-bots don't even think the Constitution is still the law of the land. You zombies are clueless. Read some history.

[getyoasshome]

@denalaurens the democrats of yesteryear HATED minorities...now the republicans have that job...the democratic party 100 years ago would never have a black presidential nominee it would have been the republican party. the ideologies changed when FDR stepped on the scene. propaganda lies? last i checked the republican party let radio host like rush basically run their party and his whole agenda is based on propaganda. there is no constitutionalists reagan killed that in the early 80s.

[denalaurens]

@getyoasshome The only thing that has changed is that democrats can't murder black and white Republicans anymore. The democrats of yesteryear has not changed their ideology as anarchists. They now use deceit and tricks to get their way and still spread propaganda lies. The Republicans of today, except for RINOs, (Repubs In Name Only) are still Constitutionists. Dems have a history of trying to destroy the Republican Party so that they can regain their anarchy control on the country.
