One of the best films i have seen
Let's be realistic.
just watch it!
Blistering performances.
cleaver in algiers is some of the best footage you will find on the pan African revolutionary struggle, and the cultural reasons for the difficulties that blacks in the US have had finding their place in it (yes, they are not in Africa, duh!). that alone is worth watching this. it's a document of the times, and of the organization the panthers, with no experience and little more than theoretical models, were able to structure against a system of oppression that wanted all people of color across the globe in chains, or dead, since the day they were born "non-white." there is no valid argument against the panthers' program.
