Product Description

The Angola 3: Black Panthers and the Last Slave Plantation tells the gripping story of Robert King , Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox, men who have endured solitary confinement longer then any known living prisoner in the United States. Politicized through contact with the Black Panther Party while inside Louisiana s prisons, they formed one of the only prison Panther chapters in history and worked to organize other prisoners into a movement for the right to live like human beings. This feature length movie explores their extraordinary struggle for justice while incarcerated 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 analysis of the Angola 3 s political work, and the criminal cases used to isolate and silence them, occurs within the context of the widespread COINTELPRO being carried out in the 1960 s and 70 s by the FBI and state law enforcement against militant voices for change.

In a partial victory, the courts exonerated Robert King of the original charges and released him in 2001; he continues the fight for the freedom of his two brothers. The ongoing campaign, which includes a civil case soon to come before the Supreme Court, is supported by people and organizations such as Amnesty International, the A.C.L.U., Harry Belafonte, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of Ben and Jerry s Ice Cream, Ramsey Clark, Sen. John Conyers, Sister Helen Prejean, (the late) Anita Roddick, Bishop Desmond Tutu and the ANC. 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 3features interviews with former Panthers, political prisoners and revolutionaries, including the Angola 3 themselves, and Bo Brown, Geronimo (ji Jaga) Pratt, Malik Rahim, Yuri Kochiyama, David Hilliard, Rod Coronado, Noelle Hanrahan, Kiilu Nyasha, Marion Brown, Luis Talamantez, Gail Shaw and many others. Portions of the proceeds go to support the Angola 3.

What happens when the nation's most famous police officer takes over the nation's most infamous police department? The result is a complex tale about the struggle for power - involving the top brass, the rank and file cops, and the gang members who plague the streets of Los Angeles. When William J. Bratton was sworn in as the 54th chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, the LAPD was in turmoil and the city was under siege. The scandals of the recent past - Rodney King, OJ Simpson, and Rampart - left police officers demoralized.

"LAPD" spends a year inside the toughest division in the city. South East division is 10 square miles where some 65 gangs rule the streets. Riding with gang officers, following detectives through investigations, observing the top brass planning policy, and talking with community members in the aftermath of police crackdowns, this program explores how a department with a troubled reputation struggles to stem the violence and gain the trust of a skeptical community.

Shooting Henry Hill is a documentary film focused on the life of mafia turncoat Henry Hill. Henry Hill's life of crime was forever immortalized in the 1990 film 'Goodfellas'. But Henry's life continues on as he finds himself in the small Nebraska town of North Platte. For the first time, Shooting Henry Hill goes beyond romantasized mob tales. Henry's life has been anything but boring. He is the same guy portrayed by Ray Liota; but now, 62 years old. A lot has happened in the 25 years since testifying against the Mob. He has been in and out of jail and still struggles with his addiction. This is one of a kind glimpse into the life of the best known real mobster ever to be portrayed in American film. Ron Silver and the rest of the film crew are in for far more than they ever expected. This documentary is about more than telling Henry's story, it's about the experience of shooting Henry Hill.

Description

Emmy-winning director William Gazecki (WACO: The Rules Of Engagement) delivers a searing indictment of the American legal system in this tragic story of teens, drugs and murder. Reckless Indifference explores how California’s controversial felony murder rule unjustly changed the lives of four teenagers forever. After participating in a backyard brawl which resulted in the death of a LAPD officer’s son, the ensuing trial led to life without parole sentences for the accused, even though the evidence against them was not clear-cut. Ten years have passed and they are still behind bars, though an appeal is pending. With revealing interviews from legal expert Alan Dershowitz, family members on both sides, and an exclusive recent interview with Brandon Hein from his jail cell, Reckless Indifference gives viewers an inside look into a trial that earned national attention but failed to bring justice to those involved.
