It's 1969. Fred Hampton, a Black Panther actvist, is vast asleep while
the Chicago police raid his house and kill him. Shot point blank in the
face, he's only another victim of the so called ‘monopoly on violence’.
This movie is about him, those events en the aftermath it caused. But
maybe this movie is also about Carlo Giuliani, Alexandros Grigoropoulos,
Rishi Chandrikasing or you. We all have to cope with their violence,
whether it's 'random' frisking, or just plain violent repression.
Those who never had trouble with authorities can call themselves lucky
bastards.
To not let the death of Rishi go unnoticed, we organized an info night
on january the 6th. Come watch ‘the death of Fred Hampton' (1971) and
discuss our ‘beloved’ bullies in this new twenty thirteen era of
modern repression and institutionalized acceptance.
