Huey P. Newton, the leader and public face of the Black Panther Party, the most vilified and misunderstood of all Civil Rights groups, elaborates on his revolutionary politics in this exclusive jailhouse interview with John Evans. Newton spent four years in prison for the voluntary manslaughter of an Oakland police officer before his conviction was overturned in 1971. Newton discusses his goals as a revolutionary, including decent housing for the poor and disenfranchised and an end to police brutality. Included is footage of various Panther members' homes in the aftermath of police shootouts - the very terrorism that Huey and the Black Panther Party were standing up against. (76 minutes)

It Was Ok
It was ok, but I would have liked a movie about him better. This was like a series of real interviews, while Newton was in jail.

Disappointed
I thought the video was too short to justify the expense, that the sound was of poor quality and that the understanding of what was going on and way was weak - unless you lived through those times. I did not - and that is why I got the DVD! So much for that experience. I would reference you to "A Huey P. Newton Story" Starring Roger Guenveur Smith.
