In 1970, educator and activist Angela Davis found herself on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list for her affiliation with the Communist Party and the Black Panthers. Unwavering in her reaction to controversy and political pressure, the outspoken Davis fought for freedom and civil rights without compromise. Free Angela and All Political Prisoners tells the story of her life and struggle from the days of her youth to her arrest and trial, linked to the kidnapping of a judge that ended in murder. Director Shola Lynch intelligently examines the inspirational figure's significance, bolstered by extensive interviews with Davis herself.
