The Angola 3: Black Panthers and the Last Slave Plantation DVD

The Angola 3: Black Panthers and the Last Slave Plantation tells the story of Robert King, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox, who each endured solitary confinement longer than any known living prisoner in the United States. Politicized through contact with the Black Panther Party, they formed one of the only prison Panther chapters and worked to organize other prisoners into a movement. Housed in Angola, a former slave plantation where institutionalized rape and murder made it known as one of the most brutal and racist prisons in the United States, the Angola 3 were isolated and silenced by criminal cases during widespread COINTELPRO operations being carried out in the 1960’s and 70’s.

The courts exonerated Robert King of the original charges and released him in 2001 and he continues the fight for the freedom of his two brothers. Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox have now endured as political prisoners in solitary confinement for over thirty-five years.

Narrated by Mumia Abu-Jamal, The Angola 3 features interviews with former Panthers, political prisoners and revolutionaries, including the Angola 3. It an emotional touching roller coaster.
