Free Angela & All Political Prisoners follows the high stakes crime, political movement, and trial that catapulted Angela Davis into a seventies revolutionary icon. Nearly forty years later, Davis speaks frankly about the actions that spurred a worldwide movement for her freedom.

Through archive footage and recollective interviews, director Shola Lynch mounts a vivid documentary portrait of the activist Angela Davis. With Davis on-hand to provide her own lucid, first-person perspective, it makes for a compelling account of the life and times of a countercultural warrior.
