A compelling document of the Black Panther Party leadership in 1967. This film contains a prison interview with Minister of Defense Huey P. Newton as well as an interview with Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver, footage of the aftermath of the police assault against the Los Angeles Chapter headquarters, demonstrations to free Huey at Hutton Memorial Park and the Alameda County Court House and a recitation of the party's Ten-Point Platform by co-founder Bobby Seale. Newsreel's 19th, and one of their most widely distributed films, it was originally released as "Off the Pig," but has since seen release under the name Black Panther. This short film features drawings from activist artist Emory Douglas.

"So the concept is this basically, the whole Black nation has to be put together as a Black army. And we're going to walk on this nation, we going to walk on this racist power structure and we going to say to the whole damn government ‘Stick 'em up motherfucker, this is a hold up. We come for what's ours!’"

A great little film about the tactics and convictions of the Black Panthers. I wish this would’ve been even longer. It’s only 14 minutes long and on youtube, so go watch it!
