But You Can't Kill a Revolution
17 min.
A TV network investigation team visits a small Louisiana town to film racial profiling and the police killing of an unarmed grandfather on his porch. There they find out that the town is also home to the grave of Black Panther Party Leader, Fred Hampton, and the dynamic Illinois State Chapter Chairman. Hampton was killed in an illegal Chicago police raid in 1969. Activists around the world remember "Chairman Fred", but so does the Ku Klux Klan. "You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution! You can kill a revolutionary, but you can't kill the revolution!!!" - Fred Hampton
George Jackson
The Freedom Archives, 27 min.
George Lester Jackson (September 23, 1941 August 21, 1971). This extraordinary video is from a 16mm film "work print" made in 19711972, and includes interviews with George Jackson, Georgia Jackson (George and Jonathan Jackson's mother) and Angela Davis, while she was still in the Marin County Courthouse Jail, before her acquittal. The Freedom Archives have not been able to identify the other prisoners. As you will see, the film has no titles or other credits.
Free Angela and All Political Prisoners
