3 Black Panthers & the Last Slave Plantation, narrated by Mumia
Abu-Jamal. This DVD tells the story of three members of the Black
Panther Party known collectively as the Angola Three, who were
politicized through contact with members of the Black Panther Party
while incarcerated, and in 1971 formed one of the only recognized
prison Panther chapters. Under conditions of segregation, racism, and
repression, they organized other prisoners to build a movement for
their rights; an astonishing feat given Angola Prison’s history of
repression. The focus of 3 Black Panthers and the L. S. P. is on the
hidden facts and cover-ups that have surrounded and clouded their cases
since the 1970s. In addition, the movie explores the political climate
of the 1960s and 70s that produced political prisoners in America,
situating the Angola 3 within the political unrest of the Civil Rights
and Black Power movements that penetrated the prison walls of America.

Afro-Punk. Exploring race identity within the punk scene. More than
your everyday, Behind the Music or typical “black history month”
documentary this film tackles the hard questions, such as issues of
loneliness, exile, inter-racial dating and black power. We follow the
lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock
lifestyle. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the
dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community. The style
of the documentary inter-cuts interviews from scores of black punk
rockers from all over the nation with scenes from our four
protagonists’ lives. They come from different regions, generations,
genders, and sexual preferences but their stories are amazingly
similar. Afro-Punk features performances by Bad Brains, Tamar Kali,
Cipher, and Ten Grand. It also contains exclusive interviews by members
of Fishbone, 247- spyz, Dead Kennedys, Candiria, Orange 9mm and TV on
the Radio to name a few. Bonus features include deleted scenes,
additional interviews, a 15-minute interview with the director, and
more live performances. In English, with Spanish and French subtitles.

Anarchism in America. Two fascinating documentaries, both the work of
Emmy and Guggenheim Award-winning filmmakers, Steven Fischler and Joel
Sucher. In the first, Anarchism in America, the two take a road trip to
map anarchism as a distinctly American tradition, interviewing a
diverse cast of characters: from “ordinary” truckers and farmers to
famous anarchists like Kenneth Rexroth, Ursula LeGuin, and Murray
Bookchin. The second, Free Voice of Labor, traces the history of the
Yiddish anarchist newspaper of that name — publishing its final issue
after 87 years — as told by its now elderly, but decidedly unbowed
staff. Also included is first hand accounts of the labor organizing,
propaganda, educational experiments, and monumental contributions from
these cherished, if largely unsung, heroes of the American anarchist
movement.

Black and Gold: The Story of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation.
In 1994, the Latin Kings — the largest and most powerful street gang in
New York — became the Latin King and Queen Nation. They claimed to have
abandoned their criminal past and to be following in the footsteps of
the Black Panthers and the Young Lords. In 1997 Big Noise Films became
the only media group ever given unrestricted access to the Nation. For
two years they ran with the Kings and Queens in New York City, filming
on the front lines of their everyday struggle for survival. This film
is the result.

Born in Flames. Set in America ten years after the Second American
Revolution, Born in Flames is a sci-fi fantasy of armed female
rebellion. As much as anything else this is an artefact of the 1980s,
when anarcha-feminist director Lizzie Borden shot the film, giving a
glimpse of what people were thinking of, and also of what they weren’t
thinking. More than twenty years later, parts of Borden’s fantasy
are still worth dreaming about...

Engendering Colonialism: The Effect of 100 Years of U.S. Colonialism on
Women in Hawai’i, Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. An educational
history created by the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee. We live in a
world where both old and new forms of U.S. colonialism co-exist, and
both depend on the exploitation of women. Locating the origins of U.S.
colonialism in the theft of Native American lands by European settlers
and the conquest of northern Mexico in 1848, it goes on to examine the
effect on U.S. expansionism on women, and how women are resisting the
effects of colonialism.

Grito Subterraneo El Video: 19 Bandas en escena y la Realidad de los
80’s en el Peru. Spanish language without subtitles, this DVD documents
the underground music scene in Peru (mainly but not only punk) in the
mid-1980s. This was a time when both Sendero Luminoso and the MRTA were
engaged in increasingly heavy confrontations with the State, which
responded by unleashing greater and greater levels of repression on the
oppressed.The music of that era was intense, fierce, political, and
highly original. GRITO gathers concert footage of legendary acts like
VOZ PROPIA, NARCOSIS, MARIA TETA, as well as lesser known but equally
outstanding groups like SINKURA, FLEMA, and LUXURIA. Included is news
footage documenting the mainstream response to the growing
counter-cultural “antics” happening in bars, parks and concert halls
all over Lima.

The Jena 6: Narrated by Mumia Abu-Jamal. In a small town in
Louisiana, six families are fighting for their sons’ lives. Two nooses
are left as a warning to Black students trying to integrate their
playground, fights break out across town, a white man pulls a shotgun
on black students, someone burns down most of the school, the DA puts
six black students on trial for attempted murder, and the quiet town of
Jena becomes the site of the largest civil rights demonstration in the
South since the 1960s. The Jena 6 is the story of hidden racial
inequality and violence becoming visible. It is a powerful symbol for,
and example of, how racial justice works in America — where the
lynching noose has been replaced by the DA’s pen.

Legacy of Torture. In 2005 several former members of the Black Panther
Party - Hank Jones, Ray Boudreaux, John Bowman, Harold Taylor, and
Richard Brown - were held in contempt and jailed for refusing to
testify before a San Francisco Grand Jury investigating a police
shooting that took place in 1971. They were released when the Grand
Jury term expired, but have been told by prosecutors that “it isn’t
over yet.” This DVD provides the background to this case, including
details of torture at the hands of the FBI in 1973 when the shooting
was first investigated, and the ongoing struggle against repression.
Since this DVD was produced in late 2006, many of the men as well as
other activists from the Black Liberation Movement have been arrested
and charged with the 1971 shooting - known as the San Francisco 8, you
can learn more about this case online at http://www.cdhrsupport.org

Anarchy and Art, From the Paris Commune to the Fall of the Berlin Wall,
by Allan Antliff. Exploring art’s potential as a vehicle for meaningful

Paris Commune, and ends with an examination of anarchist art during the
fall of the Soviet empire. Other subjects include the

the Dada movement in New York City during World War I; the decline of
the Russian Avant-Garde during the 1920s and 30s; the West Coast Beats

Can’t Jail the Spirit: Political Prisoners in the U.S., a collection of
biogaphies. This is the most recent edition of this book, published in
2002. It contains the (auto-)biographies of fifty one different
political prisoners and prisoners of war held by the united states,
with separate articles explaining the specific contexts around the
movements from which these individuals have come. This edition includes
a tribute to the longtime political prisoner advocate the Reverend
Seiichi Michael Yasutake, who passed away in 2001, and an introductory
essay by Owusu Yaki Yakubu, “Toward Collective Effort and Common
Vision: The International and Domestic Contexts of the Struggles of
Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War Held in the U.S.” Can’t Jail
the Spirit remains an important activist resource, as well as a useful
reference for those working around political imprisonment and
repression in the united states. A few of the prisoners listed have
since been released, and tragically Richard Williams died in 2005. Yet

Daring to Struggle, Failing to Win: the Red Army Faction’s 1977
Campaign of Desperation, by André Moncourt and J. Smith. In 1970
a small group of West German revolutionaries decided to go underground,
to set up safehouses, and learn the skills of the urban guerilla. They
were the Red Army Faction. Seven years later, almost all of the
original combatants were in prison or dead, yet, through their example,
they had inspired a militant and illegal support movement, comrades
willing to take up arms in defense of the prisoners. 1977 was to be a
year of reckoning. Through daring attacks and devastating errors, the
West German guerilla brought their society to the brink, mounting one
of the most desperate and incredible campaigns of asymmetrical warfare
ever waged in postwar Europe. That they failed is no excuse to not
learn their story, to see who they were and what they fought for – and,
most tragically, to bear witness to the lengths the state would go to
silence them, to make sure no one would ever again make such an attempt
to free the prisoners. Later this year Kersplebedeb and PM Press will
be publishing the first volume in a documentary history of the RAF, but
in the meantime this pamphlet is a modest introduction to this story.

How It All Began, The Personal Account of a West German Urban

in the freak counter-culture of the sixties, and how one section of the

but from a left-wing perspective. Unlike other authors who have tackled
this subject, Berger is not interested in whining about Weather’s
adopting armed struggle against the United States government, but
rather takes them to task for not always living up to their own
standards, specifically in regards to ani-racism and anti-sexism. An

People’s War... Women’s War? two texts by Comrade Parvati of the
Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) with commentary by Butch Lee. A look
at women’s role in the Nepalese Revolution, and the relationship of
women to Maoism and revolution in general. The two main texts are
reprints of essays by Comrade Parvati, one of the few women in the
central committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). In her
interview with People’s March, and her essay “The Question of Women’s
Leadership in People’s War in Nepal,” Parvati is refreshingly critical
and honest in her appraisal of the role of women in the CPN(M)’s
peasant guerilla army, drawing conclusions regarding the connections
between patriarchy and the defeat and degeneration of past communist
revolutions, and the centrality of women to any successful revolution.
Commenting on these texts, North American Amazon theorist Butch Lee
examines the mixed record of Marxism-Leninism and Maoism in regards to
women’s liberation, the role of women in armed struggle, and the role
of armed struggle in winning and defending freedom and autonomy for
women and children.

they’re linked by a clear purpose: to explore the nature of social
power and the forms that resistance to it have taken—or might take in
the future.
