We must free our freedom fighters because they fought to free us...Geronimo Pratt

Film narrated by Mumia Abu Jamal

The Angola 3: The Black Panthers and the Last Slave Plantation tells the story of three men who have endured solitary confinement longer than any known living prisoner in the United State--for the crime of struggling for justice.

In 1972, Robert King Wilkerson, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox were targeted for organizing against institutionalized rape, murder, and segregation at Angola prison. They were in solitary confinement for over three decades, where two of them remain today.
