THE STORY
IN THE FALL OF 1966...
...a small group of Black artists, students and residents of Oakland founded an organization to protect their community from being brutalized by a racist police state.
​
This is one such story about them--those revolutionaries who dared to change our world for the better by any means necessary, a government that stopped at nothing to destroy them and a soldier caught in between the two.
​
This is a story about the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.
