Free Angela and All Political Prisoners is a feature-length documentary about Angela Davis and the high-stakes crime, political movement, and trial that catapults the 26 years-old newly appointed Philosophy professor at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA), into a seventies revolutionary political icon. Forty years later, and for the first time, Angela Davis speaks frankly about the actions that branded her as a terrorist and simultaneously spurred a worldwide political movement for her freedom.
